I made up the rear closing panel which fits behind the rear of the door frame using the same jig I used for the door frame. The gap between the closing panel and the door frame will reduce by 3mm from 8mm to 5mm when the door skin and rear wheel arch panel are folded around the frames. The panel will be welded in when I have all the panels/air inlet in position. Andy

Before I can start the air scoops/wire frame for the rear I needed to make up the sheet metal work for the hatch and the lower panel for the bracket. The retaining pins on the roll bar are angle at 6 degrees from the horizontal so the steel metal work had to match the angle so the hatch can be removed. Andy

Lovely work.
Are you using wood formers or do you have access to a pullmax ?

Thanks all

I would love to have a pullmax but I do have a bead roller which helps with strengthening thin sheet.

Sorry for not being around but this will improve over the next month. Anyway the last of the updates until the new work restarts. Cheers Andy

Adjuster/lock for the door plate so I can position the door better and lock the door plate in position (adjustment is made from inside the foot well). The rest of the time has been welding up the rear frame and hatch. I had some old white paint so gave the buck a paint.
