Hey chaps.

This is the first in my series of Dunce Questions By A Dunce.

So, I've currently got a removeable front end, however, I also still have inner wings.

I've already got a set of brace bars, so I'm planning on removing the inner wings, bolting on the brace bars and being satisfied with better access to the engine and what-not.

However, I've never actually been up close to a mini with this done, despite it being really common. Does anyone have a guide / photos as to how much of the inner wings I need to cut, and what I need to re-mount?

Any advice/photos would be greatly appreciated.

TIA.

Cut vertically parallel with the front cross member, just in front of the shock mount holes.

You will need to relocate anything that is attached to the inner wings *wink*

Can I be a bit cheeky? If the front lower bit of the drivers side inner wing is in good condition, could you put it to one side for me? Need to repair this bit on a mates car when we replace the front end. Ta
