holes are air vents :teehee:
rust holes (only bit on the boot)
will be cut out.


Thought about back lit plate , but i might recess the pressed area and fit some small LED's
in the top.

Hi everyone,
been out for a bit tonight, decided i,m going to have LED's for the number plate
lights, having three mounted in the recess above the number plate, I have folded
a return edge at work and welded this to the ledge above the number plate recess,
this will allow the LED's to be hidden

pic showing full rear, more work done on boot lid clearance, now opens
freely

think i'll loose the boot lock, number plate holes will be cut out and patched.
