So managed to do a fair whack today

Cut every plate for the floor and back panel (floor has a few diuble skinned bits that will be done from below)

Let the pics do the talking

Some floor plates



Some of the work on the back panel

All cut out properly



Another


Then the bad lad



Also did the top hole in 3 pieces - pics are shit though



Might not seem like loads but there are 35 individual pieces - 26 of which are hand made as i had 9 circles left from black one

Wednesday night these will be welded in and the fuel tank/exhaust removed then the car moved right over so i can start graft on the driver side sill and arch

Really want to sort my garage and mount the xev in the car too so i can do my welding and front cross member on that too
