Right, you two, in my office after school. Bloody kids   Angry

Bugger getting a detention for that twerp Grin so I will get back to the build.

Because of the height/location of the bulk head the roof angle ended up wrong. I made up a couple of jigs, the one made of angle was to help hold the shape of the roof before cutting and during welding and the MDF one was to form the new shape at the back of the roof.

Ahh, I couldn't imagine how the back end was going to look, but suddenly it all makes sense. Nice.

I needed to box in the roll bar for the interior finish and the original plan was to weld the Jaguar and Audi roof/hatch together but this could give me access problems later. So I decided to make the hatch part removable. Since there will be no boot just a parcel shelf and also because the two panels are different shapes in both directions I decided to make the hatch a bolt in/out affair. So I needed to flange the roof end section and to machine two locating lugs/pins. The lugs are to be welded to the hatch and the 16mm diameter tapped pins will be welded to the roll bar. The next job is to flange the hatch and make the rear support brackets.

Rear support bracket, the bracket is made of 1.6mm sheet steel and will support both the rear hatch and the diffuser. Andy
