Hey,

my 71 mini k has had the front and rear bumbers de seamed and i want it back to the way it was. Front looks like it will just be a new apron but the rear is giving me more of a drama.. the beaver panel is shagged and where the welded it up have warped the crap out of the rear panel at the bottom. will i have to cut out the whole bottom lip of the boot from seam to seam and replace that along with the beaver panel or is their an easier way??

Cheers Toby

You could just fit 4 tabs to pick up bumper bolts. Just a thought.

New lower boot section with the mounts for boot hinges, new rear beaver panel and new floor section will fix it as all have the seam on them... or swap yor shell for mine as im about to de seam the rear of my deluxe.. the front is easy as it is just a lip that is spot welded to the front apron. Im sure you can buy it from england.
