Tuesday - Part 3:
A while back I bought a rubber strip to cut down and use to mount the twin tail pipes a bit lower than before.
Because the rear of body shell is actually bonded on a bit lower than I originally planned.
I dusted off the tail pipes (as the boot isn't sealed off yet).
But quickly realised that I needed the car jacked up again to get better access to the mounting brackets.
So I pushed it back into a more central position, jacked it up again and supported it on blocks.
However, I will come back to this job another day.
Instead, I spent ages crawling around under the car trying to work out the best way to extend the panelling.
Initially, I was going to continue from the bottom like so.
Then I though I should follow the lines of the Spitfire boot.
In the end I decided on a mix of the two options, when I remembered to check what the other side looked like.
I also made a couple of templates for the driver's side.
Unfortunately, other domestic chores prevented me from doing any more car work, but it was still a good day.
So until next time, take care, Paul.
