Bit more plywood went on it this evening!
Will 'glass that over in the morning then the strength I want will be there.
Can start making the vent slat then!

In between cutting and welding the hatch of course! :wink:

Well the hatch got abandoned! :sad:
Reality struck home.
Still have a lot of work to do on the car itself painting the arches.
With that and finishing the bumper, which has to be done to use the car, I wont have time.
Plus I spoke to paintshop and it will be unlikely they can do it in the time!
Bummer!
The biggest changes are at the front anyway to will have to settle for that.

Fixed the slats in the two outer vents and filled in the fog/indicator holes and smoothe those over and primered those.
As usual pics to follow.

Not a lot of time!
Not just me is it! Paintshop too!
I could use another place that Billy has used but prefer to go with the one I know.

Nope!
Prefer to wait and not rush things just to try and get it done.
Do it properly first time and it will be right, rush it and it will have to be done again because I wont be happy with it!
