Weekend:
Spend a lazy couple of days with my girls, watched some DVDs & had a BBQ for the 4 of us in Saturday's sunshine.

I did get one chance to work on the car on Sunday, but as soon as I'd taken off the tarpaulin & moved the bulkhead, it started to rain.

Mind The Gap - Part 1:
Started the day by collecting my daily driver from the garage, where it had failed its MOT on Saturday.
Thankfully the garage just had to replace a front section of the exhaust for it to pass, so nothing serious.

Then after yet more domestic chores I could finally return to the build...

Frame/Arches/Floors:
There were a few small gaps around some parts of the framework like so.



So I added some fibreglass filler around the horizontal edge to seal them up.





Before adding a skim of normal body filler to the front edge.



Late on I was able to give that a rough sanding down.





Not easy to see in the photo, but the "hollow" has worked out really well.



Note:
This whole area still needs a bit more tidying up, but my main priority is the other side.

So there was another round of huffing and puffing to get the frame work upside down again.



This allowed access to remove the "egg" moulds.





There was still a gap on the passenger side (which is now sealed on the other side).



Plus I never got around to adding some filler over the fibreglass patches on the driver's side.





End of Part 1...
