just a couple of little problem have come up today...got new studs being as half of them were missing..turns out the just spin when you put new ones in..guess i need a new hub to... >_<

 

and who doesn't stop to think about how to get the rear valance closing panel in when they're fitting the rest of it :shy:

it's ok..just remember to leave it in a bucket of hot water for 10/15 mins before you use it..gun clean up was just as easy as with paint..best bet is to get a proper gun for it,that gives you the tube to get inside bits..

bit of a bonus half day cause of the weather..just a couple more bits of welding left after today..well on the shell that is  :shifty:  still got all 4 doors to sort when i can afford the panels...

 

left her over the weekend for the paint to harder..no issues from the roll over the paints still there :thumbsup:  so being as i could get at it now got the other scuttle closer and skirt adapter done..the inner rear valance and the drip rail all welded up today..was having a good day right up till i started my power file...both rubber covers on the drive wheels went at once >_< super glue wouldn't hold it so i guess i need some new parts for that to :mmkay:
