Nice one, and perhaps an air hockey set on the roof? All set of nicely with the finest leather interior, flip candy paint and the usual Giavanni Alloys (or however you spell it,... but clearly west coast customs can't get rid of them in the shop because they're fapping C**p)

went out this afternoon and moved out the Rat, had a bit of a clean up, removed
the doors ready for re-skinning, then had to turn Ratty round to put him
back in front end first, this will make it easier when fitting the engine.
took a couple of pics of the rear end with the boot in place..

and one more of the boot

Lookin good! I'm sure you know, but you should remove the filler around where you welded up the gutter, as the heat would have burnt it away underneath and after a while it'll bubble.

Hi Peter,

ground out some of the filler i applied, you've got me a bit paranoid
so i'll have to go out and double check :ermm:
