Another small step...
Woke up early this morning, but then felt terrible after breakfast and ended up going back to bed.

Part of me wanted to skip working on the car today and wait until I felt 100% again.

But the other part of me wanted to get something done given the fact was actually dry outside for a change.

So I did a bit more work on the rain channel for my boot access panel.

I started by carefully extending the cut along the top edge across the passenger hump.



This involved a lot of stop/start cutting to ensure I only "clipped" the bottom edges of the hump itself.
( I'll take some photos next time I have the body shell the right way up. )

I cut some more strips out of my yoga mat and taped them into position.



After adding some fibreglass, the top rain channel was coming together nicely.



I also added some matting to the bottom edge rain channel after tidying up the mess I made yesterday.



At some point I need to build a temporary "bridge" across the driver's side hump.



This will allow me to extend the rain channel across the void.

I will also be "sealing" both humps, so the rear body shell will look "complete" running down to the rain channel.

Not a great description I know, but I have a vague idea how this will look / work when I have finished.

Right I'm off for another rest, so until next time, take care, Paul.

PS
Still no sign of the DVLA letter.
