I couldn't resist a little mock up!

I'm really looking forward to working on it now :-)

 

Anyway, after the little mock up, it is apparent that my toe board repair needs some trimming as it is stopping the inner wing from sitting correctly against the front parcel shelf and the flange on the upper bulkhead.

 

Need daylight really though as my garage is only half lit and its a bit gloomy down the front..

 

More tomorrow hopefully!

 

Ben

So jealous. I wish I'd used full inner wings.

Don't forget the bulk head to inner wing support panels

Just read this whole thread, you got some skills mate.
This is the sort of thing that would give me nightmares, wouldn't know where to start.
It's looking great.

Looks like someone at M-Machines bought a new mountain bike!  :lol:

 

Crack on Ben.... Don't stop you now... Your having such a good time.... Your having a ball....

 

 

Anyway!

 

 

 

P.S sorry for the Queen outburst, heard the new songs on Radio 2 this morning and had Queen songs in my head all day.
