Hello there I have just joined this forum.
I came across it while trying to find out the best way to weld panels on to my 79 mini. I have installed a fibreglass front on it recently and when i cut off the old metal front i discvered that the car is rotton under the scuttle and i need to replace the flitch panel ( bit behind a panel that joins the door to the scuttle.) Its not the top skin of the scuttle but the skin underneath. while im there i will be replacing the a panel and the flitch panel too but Im a bit nervous about cuttin out and welding in panles to my car. I can already weld but its mostly been on the bench or 'accesible' areas on cars and mainly just little plates. any advice would be greatly appreciated!! Also if you know what bits weld to where or how theyre attached, that would be greatly appreciated!!
