got some more done
middle section, warped a little from welding but nothing a hammer cant fix



also got some Honda Civic Coupe sideskirts for the great price of nothing which im gonna have a go at putting on
needs a bit of cutting and stuff to make fit but they should look good
more pics later, camera has died atm

yeah i made the bracket
though about that and you can just see where the nut is? thats welded onto the bracket so theres no need for a spanner on that side
just on the other side which is easy enough

got some more fibreglass on today so should be getting that all shaped up tomorow
started cutting the sideskirts to fit and holding them up to the car they seem to suit it perfect
