When I sold, it was bought by a dealer in Holland.
Slow but steady progress. Near side scuttle top done.

Thanks.
Yep, I'm quite pleased with it so far. It's OK for a first attempt, and is turning out better than I dared hope.
Just messed up the offside scuttle top, so will have to start that again.
It's not supposed to look factory !  Sad  I must try harder.  Grin

I'd like to think you've got a big heap of scrap panels that you don't show us, but somehow I suspect not.  Angry

It's all down to poor lighting and a cheap camera I assure you.

There's nowt wrong with the stuff you make Andy

Thought I'd ruined the scuttle top while rolling over the edge. Put a big crease in it by going to fast. Took a while but I eventually managed to dress the crease out.
I love this aluminium stuff,. It's so easy to work with.

Just had a special delivery from Canada. Four sets of long lever, quick release, clamps/buckles.
Originally designed as closing clamps, for heavy haulage horse collars, they will make great buckles for the bonnet straps.
