Not really an update just some pictures of the hatch in position and me just mucking around with card to see how the side air inlets could look like. Andy

Cheers for asking but I have another project (not car or house related) to do which has a May 2015 dead line. Hopefully I will get a few updates in the meantime but it could be a bit slow. Andy

I finished of fitting the hatch by tacking the tapped pins (weld later) to the roll bar, I then made up the rear support cross member, aluminium spacers and then cut off the back end of the hatch by 400mm and welded on the closing panel, so now I can style the rear end of the car as I like. All I need to do now is finish off the sides and then fit the ‘D’ section seal to the hatch flange. Andy

Nice update, now can you just make the next one sooner than six months please

Drat & double drat, I´m offshore & the eejits in admin have blocked access to thumbsnap... can´t see the piccys

I made up the rear closing panel which fits behind the rear of the door frame using the same jig I used for the door frame. The gap between the closing panel and the door frame will reduce by 3mm from 8mm to 5mm when the door skin and rear wheel arch panel are folded around the frames. The panel will be welded in when I have all the panels/air inlet in position. Andy
