Cheers guys. hummm..... beach.....

GaryH - I've filled the gap between the panels and the bodyshell with L-section alloy strip, or hand-beaten L-section for the interesting curvy bits.

On the top of those section i have used tiger-seal to adhere them to the underneath of the body-shell and then they are then riveted to the alloy panels. When firmly in place i then sealed around the edges with more Tigerseal and when that's dry i plan on glooping on some of that lovely thick tarry black wheel arch liner jollop everywhere to absorb any stones that are thrown up. This approach worked really well on the rear of the Spyder, although this time around i plan not to get any of that black cr@p in my hair as last time i had to get the wife to cut it out!!

This pic is looking up and to the rear of the passengers side arch. It doesn't look the tidiest as i'd just started sealing the edges when i thought to take a pic before it all went black! But it does show Hows it's all put together.
