A small update!

Ive decided to tackle the parcel shelf...Ive dreading this panel as it is so flimsy, and there is more holes than I bargained for to weld up!

Here's the progress so far. Ive filled both of the big square holes and ive just finished making the first curvey fillet panel with the two curves in it...one to go!

Minimail can sell you an adaptor plate to weld into the aperture of the dash rail so you can fit the Mk1 switch panel if thats any use

You boys don't stand a chance at Avon this year....ive nearly used 2 cans of green paint on this bad boy!

Power to paint ratio + the green multiplier I make this engine 300bhp+...*tongue*

You forgot to paint the spark plugs and dizzy that'll cost you a good 50bhp easy.

Thanks for the comments! *happy*

Longy - It took me a day to clean it up to a reasonable standard, I got some funny looks from walkers by, when I was hoovering the garage floor. lol

Im bored of sanding now, too bad ive got a whole day of it tomorrow. :( Its getting closer to paint though!
