After finishing the humps the next job was the rear boot lid aperture position and size, i need to be able to fit a full size spare wheel into the boot along with a few tools.

Marked out with a thick marker and taking measurements from various points to be sure it was central and square, then cut out what will be the lid with a slitting disc and jigsaw.

Hole cut out with the lid.

I thought it may be wise to strengthen the lower valance area so used a hot melt glue gun to fasten a length of oval conduit then glassed over for strength. I am thinking about adding a little strength to the lid but will wait and see how and where i attach the hinges, most likely will make ally plate fixings that will be bonded and glassed to the back of the lid.



Well that's it for now and tomorrow i hopefully will have the rain gutter in place once i decide on what to use as a mold, see you all soon.
