Bills Kalifornia SWB

[Plastic Porsche]

The hinges are Morris minor boot they need some slight bulges to be put in the boot lid to fit the curve but work well

I'm going to try and fit the mini cooper cap over the z3 fuel cap, the mini mechanism doesn't fit very well and if I sacrifice the BMW wing panel around the filler cap and bond it inside the swb body I can keep the remote lock

Its starting to come together now

I'm going to lose the rear aluminium bumper strengthening panel and extend the tubes to mount the body at the rear. I should also be able to fit a bumper or quarter bumpers

Now to do the passenger door

Changed the triumph 2000 door handles to herald / finesse, they are bigger and look more like they belong. Quite a lot of work to recess but I still have the BMW handles and drivers lock

regarding the grille....
I am pretty sure that it needs to be fitted the other way around....
The upright slats are fitted to the top beam....all is held together by the 2 ali strips, so you will not loose it but still....

Not sure I understand

Vertical slats can't fall out as they are held against fiberglass surround and would have to come forward

Horizontal slats are held in by two vertical strips

I have fixed the horizontal location bar to the lower edge because I wanted to keep the lower part of the grille surround straight and have some extra strength where the grille is close to the air con fan
