Having finished the arch-bonding at the rear, I went to the front today.
Way back when I had to cut the footwells back to get front wheel turning clearance, after the welding, I was aware of some tiny pinholes which I promised myself to do one day, well, that day was today.
I fibre-pasted them all in, to make it waterproof, also strengthened the passengers front wheel arch rear, which had cracked at some point and needed sorting.
When I bolted the body on the front cross member, I never got round to doing either side, so that also was done today.
Same as the main front spacer, the two side ones were made with well seasoned solid oak blocks, bolted in with stainless bolts and nuts.
If it was good enough for the Mary Rose, it will be good enough for my car,
and should last longer than the timbers in the Mary Rose, as I have no immediate plans to park my car under-water for 400 years.
Only a small job you may think, but the oak was difficult to cut and shape being so rock solid. I hate to think how the Mary Rose builders managed!
Anyhow the job took the bulk of the day to do, but is now complete.
One very small step for mankind, but a much bigger step for me.
