Bonding the 2 skins together...

It should be fine but im going to put some small black socket head capped bolts through the scoop just incase it does come apart i am not going to loose it.

I had to modify the bracket a little with some bigger holes so i could move it up so when you bolt it down it grips the hardtop mounts better

got the roof on the car and locked it down and the fix i did to the scoop just altered, i guess the way the roof sits on the car is different to how it sits on a table.

anyway.. this is the look i got when i bolted it down

pretty bad really..

so this time i set about fixing it whilst it was on the car.

its not prefect but the original used for the mould is bad if you look closely and i cant be arsed spending any more time on this.

moving to the back, the brace bar for the diffuser is all rusty so im going to sand it back and give it a coat of paint.

1/2 sanded

Thanks, I did think it was the back of yours on one occasion but then on closer inspection it looked like it had no sides(where fuel cap is)but was the angle of the clam. Coming from a classic mini background i've seen mini front and rear bodypanels used for arm chairs,office desks,bbq's,trailers ect. Thought for a second some one had done similar with a vx clam lol..
