one way of deseaming is to tape the seam over then use bog to smooth it if i was going to do it i would weld plates inside were you can access the seam

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

You'll remove the Mini's soul... :cry: :shock:

Hard to do it and not have it look tacky.. if you deseam the whole car, the body's curves don't blend well. Add more bog then I guess.. :lol:

Deseaming is now illegal in NZ - presumably due to it being poorly done and being hard to examine or test for integrity. Some people just bashed the seams over and bogged it.

I used to like the look of a deseamed (except for the roof) mini, but now I don't - it's the old school thing of exposed seams that makes the car, IMHO.
