[@darrencottrell5541]

I’m a broken record with each drop, but in awe of the effort and transformation. Top, top work Marc.

Cheers 👍

I never cease to be amazed by people who can do bodywork, I know if I did it the car I was doing would never get an MOT again!!

[@SimpsonsClassics]

It’s all about the want to make it right I guess. These panels gave me sleepless nights but I think they are getting there now. Cheers for watching 👍

[@Matthew-MrBrit]

The tech screws are a great idea!

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Definitely buddy they always work and saves having so many clamps in the way 👍

[@Bertsretrorides]

I think I'm going to purchase some of those tech screws, great idea!👍. Another great video mate😁

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yeah they have definitely helped me over the years it really makes a difference when holding panels together. Cheers buddy

[@anthonybrown7959]

Your front end has gone the same route as my own. The heat on the budget front panel certainly works a treat. Great work once again 👏👍

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Cheers Anthony it definitely helped for sure buzzing that it sorted the issue... cheers for watching 👍

Looking good! 👍👌

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks buddy 👍

[@tonyaylott4114]

Marc just done mine on my Cooper had the same on the corners but managed to get them fitted ok, if only the lips were longer then the spot welder would have done the job great work 👍

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yeah it’s something I want to look into now but none the less it went well and I am pretty happy with the fit now. Cheers for watching. I hope you are safe and well 👍

Thank you 👍

[@michaelflood4535]

Its looking good you're making a nice job of it.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Cheers buddy 👍

[@jamesbarrie2965]

Looked into doing the front panels as you did, but wasn’t confident enough to try. Would give it a try next time though as quite a fee plus points👍

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Yeah this is something I didn't really want to try but due to the issues I have had with these panels I just went for it, I liked the results to. Cheers for watching.

Great progress. Whats up with the Clubman Estate rear doors in the background?

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Thanks buddy.... nice spot those are for our clubby estate video to come through at some point 👍

Nice. MPI 🙈

[@SimpsonsClassics]

Haha thanks 👍

[@midgelambert3880]

Do you think that's the way to go then Marc if putting a new front end on a Mini. Weld it all together off the car?

[@SimpsonsClassics]

I think it all depends on the space you have etc but I think this is the best way to do it I will be doing the 89 mini the same way. Just better access and nicer welds.

[@chueewowee]

You're righjt, with the spot welder you are unlikely to have been able to pull those corners in as well.

[@SimpsonsClassics]

The spot welder definitely helps! Thanks for watching 👍
