Ticking Along - Part 1:
I did get a few more chances to work on the car today and "Every little helps"...
Boot Lid:
Put the lid back in place and temporarily set the gaps with some bits of yoga mat.
This allowed me to mark up where the locating pin mounting plates should go underneath.
Trimmed the mounting plates a little & ground away the gel coat where the plate will meet the rain channel.
Realised that I would need the body shell upside down for the first round of 'glassing.
That also meant the boot lid needed to be fixed in position, so it was back on with the locks & eye bolt.
Before locking the lid into place.
Unfortunately, the extra weight of the lid makes turning the body shell over even harder to do.
I fixed bolts onto the mounting plates.
Which allowed me to tape the plates into position.
I also put some parcel tape over the rubber seal before the first round of fibreglass went on.
I left that to set for a while before getting a second round of matting on.
With a bit of luck that should be fully set by the morning & I can start on the other side of the join.
End of Part 1...
