Morning all,

Turning my attention to the boot lid, now the cockpit is finished.

Any info gratefully received as always.

No pictures but I used a modified Westfield boot box that I got for a couple of £s off ebay. Had to modify it to fit past the roll bar supports

I wanted to make the boot as large as possible, so I made a frame from ally angle, it will be boxed out in ally sheet after IVA.
