One dented scraped rear valance



Unpick from the car with spot weld drills and a chisel



Luckily there is no rust to be seen



New heritage valance undersealed on the back before preparing it to be spot welded on



Might keep me motivated to work on it if I have a thread to update, lets see.

Indeed this is my very own Mini, now approaching 10 years in the making, with the DON at Carls for some secret winter developments I've been doing some work on it. Somewhere there is a thread on the engine build, around 2005 time I believe.....

I just checked the original post date to make sure this was a fresh development, and not some excavating. Nice to see some progress:)
