then its off for blasting then for paint

its been a while and no progress realy since the show season started, not had a weekend spare to work on the car.
so now beaulieu is out the way, i can start again , thats my show season over till next year, ( except for club events) so now i can get done and maybe have it ready this year if not next year or the year after or the year after that, ( so i have covered all bases)
seeing all those mk1's at beaulieu and only seeing 1 fiesta yellow mini at beaulieu makes me waht to get it on the road even more,

thanks, its one of those project which has past its finish date many times,
but i am a bit of a perfectish , and like it to be right, spot on, so nothing has been up touched, and i mean nothing, suspension, brakes, subframes, engine, panels,
but once its done , it will be a very nice car, and cant wait to take it to shows, and not take the bini,

its going to shock a few people , but i have sent a good few hours on the mk1 today getting the front end lined up, even better, and makes sure all the panels are good first got the drivers door hung, and at the state that i am happy with it, nice gap all the way way round then went on to the front end, after a bit of playing around i got the wings and scuttle right, as they have to be spot welded up first before the inner a panels go on and the closing panels, i now going to take them off and weld them up better, before fitting the rest     |
