Very Slow Progress - Part 2:
Instead I started to extend the other side of the lip, which due to the curves involved I need to do in stages.





Well, the curves and the fact I only have 4 clamps to play with.

With the first round of fibre glassing complete, I left it like this while I got on with other stuff.



After a while I came back to remove the formers, leaving the lip looking like this.



This allowed me to put the formers back on to fill in the gaps and extend the lip on the driver's side.





As before, I had to ensure there was a bit of extra pressure from behind to hold the shape of the lip.



Although it doesn't look it, there are actually 4 layers of matting in parts of the lip "extension".





That was all for today, but I hope to start building up the lip from the other side over the weekend.

And at some point I will have to re-work the outside edges of the lip to minimise the lack of symmetry on each side.

Until then, Take care, Paul.
