Well done a bit more tonight, at work yesterday i made up the cover to go over the
exhaust box inside the car. started to fit it last night and ran out of bl**dy gas,
Managed to get a cylinder form work today, so tonight finished welding in the cover
in, cleaned off and red oxided.

Hi there, shouldn't really show you this as it's copywrited


Made my own hinges

If you are interested, when mounting the hinges i fitted the boot and strapped it into position,
then i worked from inside the car ( through a cut out the rear seat) and positioned the hinges and tacked
in position.

see the problem with that approach for me is that i have just sealed the boot area back up so i will have to do some measurements i think.

good luck , i cut the seat oval out to make it easier as i thought it would
be too much messing to try and measure the positions. hope you do
it ok...
