..Mark, you NEVER cease to amaze me fellah!
..we are truly , NOT WORTHY!
Perhaps, along with my pre-arranged tutorial elsewhere, i could come along sometime, & just watch you work?
..( Clinton, i may have a spare lid, if you need one.. )

Is there? A lad on here contacted me about it, did promise me a free copy -ah well . I will have a look for the mag next time im out. Hope it doesnt mention it ever getting finished or started for that matter
.
There is no new news on the van - other than i have now visited it since picking it up and the rear engine lid has fallen off.

Option of being dragged round town Christmas shopping or escaping to get something else done - um -easy decision...
So After getting drivers lower B panels made up for Clintons bus and having a huge tidy up, i decided later this afternoon to do a bit for me and make myself a rear bulkhead.
I had to make it in 4 parts as i dont have the kit to form it in one.(not sure why the two middle bits ended up those sizes )
Some pics, just tacked together for now....
cheers

I decided on the way home while i was on a roll to make a rear wheel arch, so i made up some templates and used the heated workshop to make this tonight...
As usual tacked together and not finished (i had to make it in sections again), it wouldnt have taken me very long except that flat bit on the arch tricked me a bit as i lost the curve when i put it in, so i had to stretch the steel(read beat with hammer) to get the curve back . I havnt put the front wheel arch lower closing panel on as i didnt have a peice of steel long enough so i will make it and add it later.
cheers
