Well that was a farce :lol: went out, removed clamps, all good, get a little back piece, drill hole for rivet, mud flaps no longer fit, look for rivet gun and the larger rivet end is missing :roll: spend an hour tidying the van :oops: can't believe i have that many tools, can't believe they all fit in my top box, and more importantly after all these years i still can't believe it's not butter :| :mrgreen:
I found the rivet gun large tip end piece tho 8) .
Anyway here's some porn for you mr Ned.

It is an amazing finish although there are a couple of pin pools and a small drip out of sight that let's it down, also no lacquer so I'll be blown if i know what paint it is :?
I'm going to say cheap cellulose but it is like glass lol no orange peel at all.

Anyway i got more on but if i don't get an honorary degree from the institute of heath Robinson I'll be mighty upset.

When i fitted the front arch and the front apron there's a small gap there so i have pulled it and put sealant begging and one now clamped it all up and you can see I've used whatever i had available, it'll be removed in a few hours but no doubt I'll be cold and shaking due to some drunk giving me a golden shower while i last in the floor sleeping :-(
