front end replacement
I replaced the front panel and both front wings on mine recently, although I still have to weld the tabs on the front panel to the inner wings.
Make sure you fill any voids between the 'scuttle' and the wing with sealant, but i personally use a bit of araldite or metal glue before i use the sealant. This prevents the top part of the wing moving in relation to the windscreen scuttle. If you dont fill all the gaps, this is where you end up replacing the lower windscreen scuttle after a couple of years. Unlike most modern cars there's no arch liner commonly fitted, so any water and muck just gets thrown around inside the wing. This then gets in under the lower windscreen scuttle corners and rust sets in !!
Also, for a decent paint finish I would always advise rubbing down the black paint that replacement panels come in. You don't have to rub back to bare metal since the black stuff is generally a good primer, but do rub away the shiney finish to give the new paint a decent 'key'. The other reason I rub new panels down is that you generally find a few marks/dents when rubbed down that you otherwise miss and only see after painting !

Mini Mayfair 998cc
[i]PLEASE EMAIL OR CALL ME AS I AM NOT ON THIS FORUM MUCH.[/i] Due to a change of job I am now offering my mini up for sale. It has taken me nearly 2 years to complete but has to go. I won’t be leaving the mini scene for long though. So here goes: [b]Interior:[/b] Original rover black paint Charcoal dashboard Mini sport deluxe black carpet set Cobra classic Front Bucket Seats with tailored subframes Cobra classic rear matching seat 10” Mountenoy steering wheel & boss kit Black door cards Chrome door accessories Chrome momo ball gearknob Polished alloy handbrake grip Black gear and handbrake gaiter Chrome rear view mirror Rear shelf black carpet Black rear arch covering Securon front inertia belts Securon rear 3 point static belts Custom boot liner in black Chrome air vent covers Smoked black perspex sunvisors [b]Exterior:[/b] Mini sport 4 pot 7.9 non-vented full disk brake setup 10x5 GB alloys Yokohama A032R aqua tyres Locking wheel nuts Mk1 morris/cooper slat grille Mk1 morris/cooper moustache Halogen headlamp conversion Genuine stainless steel rover bumpers front and rear Group 2 arches Tex stainless wing mirrors Chrome boot hinges Chrome door and boot locks Stainless locking filler cap Aston filler cap Chrome wipers Chrome jet sprays Clear front indicators Clear side indicators Smoked rear lenses Door seals Rear opening window seals Rear windscreen seal Chrome windscreen insert [b]Engine:[/b] Standard manual 998cc with under 32,000 miles (genuine) Mini spares 70A alternator Twin air horns K&N element air filter AAA carb needle Chrome radiator cap [b]ICE & Security[/b]: Toad A51S alarm system including immobiliser 2 pair of JBL 6x9 speakers 6 channel JBL amp mounted in boot Pioneer CD/MP3 headunit 1.2 Farad power capacity Halfords calcium battery Professional cabling throughout [b]Recent Service:[/b] Pair of genuine rover rubber cones on front New rear shoes New front grooved disks New performance front pads Performance HT leads Radiator top hose Oil and filter change Air filter change [b]Here are the pictures... [url]http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=999&gid=9669921&uid=4614268&members=1[/url][/b] As you can see this mini has been cared for in the best possible way. All the parts above were purchased new and this has cost me far in expense of £6000. The paint is the paint it came with 18/19 years ago when it left the factory and has been cared for all its life. It’s never had a panel changed in its life either. The body is 99.9% rust free apart from a small amount of surface rust on the gutter about the size of a 50 pence piece. It is MOTed until Feb/March 2007 and taxed until August/September 2006. Insurance is cheap aswell… cost me £495 for a year 3rd party (fire & theft) in my first year of motoring with no no-claims bonus aged 18. I would prefer to sell this car whole at a price of £3,500 but I will also sell it for £3,000 with out the audio, which I feel is a fair price for all the time and money spent. ------------------------------ Contact details removed ------------------------------ Thanks for your time, Jam2004 (Tom).
