joet don't expect to need the wipers much with slope of the screen, but yes legal necessity. some more progress rear wheel arches built up depth wise and curve finished prior to edge being radiused and infill being added. tail lights were placed in holes and puttied over for contour one...

ryan/bill in the plan view of this pic the "shut line" follows the heavy line from front of door opening up,over and curves around just like the 40 does only all glass on outside no like the 40 the windows don't open, a/c or a good air flow is a definite requirement wipers will be...

Johan is that a remedy for grp dust or are you saying Fred is that pleased with his project.......... Des

Fred I was really sensitive to the dust I ground off the GRP skin. it doesn't seem to bother me as much now, maybe the hide is getting thicker. bummer, would have been nice to put a finish on it and take moulds. looking good though, you must be pleased. Des

redid corners of number plate recess (top center one) smaller to allow deeper recess and better accomodation of plate light rear infills now glued in place and corners filled what a time consuming process this has been. currently working on top of deck Des

wasn't happy with the tapers inside the openings, added to them and redid all internal corners as a result tidied up rear face infills next Des

Upside down rear deck Working on edges of openings and bottom edge as well as actual rear face itself Next step should be infills of openings and checking tapers etc for mould release. gav thanks for kind words still too early for any accuracy with pricing glass and lights are such an...

some pics of rear face of deck corners of outer openings done in timber as for front air intake inner ones done in straight putty as a trial, it's way faster than timber seems to work fine, only drawback is I need to turn it upside down for the top ones more to come as I finish this part off...

Greg No shrinkage issues so far that I am aware of, more the other way around in Brissy's humidity on wet days. Mainly evident at slip joints where pieces fit together getting tighter. So no, no sealer was applied I am now in a lot drier and cooler climate so I guess we will see later this...
