At the moment im just pop riveting them down so i can take markings for the holes to drill for the 'spot welds' too the support panels before I remove the pop rivets, drill the holes that are required. finish the trimming and then weld it all together and clean it up / seal it. so probably at least another full day.
Also got Craig with aprils fools today ^^
Brad Sms: Dude back of the car caught fire when welding the boot panels in put it out before too much damage
Craig Sms: What the fuck
Brad Sms: April fools lol all is good. Just having lunch break.
Craig Sms: LOL
Anyway pictures...
Here is what the Rear side of the boot panel should look like(Right side, good piece). Notice the 60mm recess on the side that angles in, this seals against the support panel for the rear quarter.
Notice how the Left side is totally missing that shape and therefore fails totally at sealing too the rear quarter support (about a 250mm long x 60mm (tapered) gap. Not ideal...
This is the Left panel modified to be the same as the right panel (aproximatly moulded it to the shape required on the left side which is slightly out anyway because of the massive hit she's had previouisly.
Here is the boot panels 'sitting in there' after being roughed out and tweaked all day. I've just started pop riveting the right one in so I can scribe where the braces sit underneath it without it moving.
Here is hte left side just sitting.
