Default The Brown Bomb - A Mini Adventure 56k forget it

I bought this for Mrs Rat last Monday

As it was when it arrived home




Now a few piccys of it after owning it for 6 days















Hope you like

Day 8 - Not much done today, I got the old flitch panel removed and prepared for the new panel, just the bottom of the windscreen to sort now and then get the welder out

There wont be any updates for a few days as the weather is not looking good until Saturday, so the min has been tucked up is a warm blanket




Day 13

After much deliberation upon discovering the A Post was shot I've decided to replace the whole A post and O/S inner wing.

So it was out with the, drill, dremel and grinder again







Day 14 of ownership

Finished work @ 3, collected inner wing, got to work on the min

Only screwed on at present, hoping to get it all welded up tomorrow night









Day 15

The panels and big hole required to replace the A Post and inner wing









Day16 rain rain rain

So I put up the gazeebo to work under

The front is all screw on now, just got the final panel alignment to do before I fire up the welder

Anyhoo on to the pics
