Benn's on going build

Legend!

Both the black and the red Nova's have dents there as well but I put it down to the rollcage as pretty sure they weren't there before that.

Well they arnt just random dents then, that seals that.

Humm, best have a nosy over the mk1 roof at the weekend then, as i dont think that had them..?

Nick j: I'd of never thought that about it getting hot and flexing and the roof stregntheners pulling it in. + that with the new minis sounds mad!

I've allways thought this bout the roofs denting in the same place but that's confirmend it now everyones saying there's has the same dents. Lol. Keep us informend how the dent guy gets on with it. Some of the work I've seen them do is amazing!!!

Scott, does it have a factory sun roof?

Ben, will do, will take pics..

Matt, ill look out, i drive a orange work van too, cheers :)

Have spent a few nights getting the roof in to a better shape. Popped to the bodyshop so Keith could look at the holes. Worked out if we enlarged the holes a tiny amount they could be plug welded to repair them.

When back in this evening and Paul did the welding. Big thanks to him for that.

All done, popped back in tomorrow morning to primer the roof. I flatted back where the ripples where as i didn't want to fill them incase of flexing. Flatting them almost back to bare metal seems to have gotten rid of almost all of them. Yay.

Been trimming bits too... Hello Mr C pillar trim.

I painted them black as a temp job.. Couldn't have that. (has been flatted off)
Before.
