Just back from another good day
We decided to cut lower rear panel and replace but with prices almost £100 for a replacement once again we made our own

Right this week we had to take our brave pills and set about cutting up the new steel rear bubble arches as we have spoke about before not a fan of the shoulder then the arch going flat so out came...
Update time we had to cut out the boot floor to allow the swirl pot in the fuel tank to sit down so we went about making a cover for it

It’s a bit of a read and plans kept changing and evolving
