No did not think it really necessary since it was just a bolt in plate before, and its good for access when you need it, I am going to seal it with the sealer that came off the old plate.. Main Build

Lovely looking car pal, although I`m with tom on this one. I would agree with your comment about there being a plate there before. However all strength has been lost in that area due to the shape of the turbo box. On 19th Feb, 2011 Miniwilliams said:

This is true and no I did not nala. However, what about turning a little lip onto the edges of the hole behind? On 19th Feb, 2011 Miniwilliams said:

Finished welding the top box in and got some primer on it, a bit of a step backwards but I think Its all part of the fun and joys of renovating minis, a few more pictures to show
