popped in the garage tonight, sprayed the rear arches with black paint
ready to flat off to see high low points, looks ok in black in 2 minds whether
to spray it black and put it on the road :thumbsup: .
Also fitted the front end ready to set up the locking pins and then to
fit up the arches.....

Been out this afto, fitted an extra gas strut to the front end, took off
the 200NM strut and replaced with two 150NM ones

Posted Image

bonnet can now be held in mid lowered position, when nearly closed
the struts start to pull the bonnet shut.

Posted Image

also made some brackets to fit on the glass front to enable it to be
securely fixed

Posted Image

fitted a flange to the subframe brace bars

Posted Image

when closed they are bolted together for now, may use a spring mounted 'R' clip
and pin arrangement later..
