Oh and I cut out the old air scoop that was welded in and refurbished another one and made it a bolt in. Certainly better for the painting side of things.

As a matter of fact Paul, it was prepared earlier. Anyway , I have cut, ground, hammered and bent the lids. They just need to be welded and ground but that's tomorrows job unless I get a sudden burst of energy.

Default Superb stuff Colin...

Really great to see you bringing these back to their former glory..

I always enjoy having a look at your posts. Its my evening television so keep em coming!!

Also makes my metal work skill seem woefully inadequate especially when I get excited making a TAC sign holder.

Thanks Tony, I'm glad you like them and I'm happy to show and share any work I've done if it can help. I also just had a end of the day burst of energy and welded the boxes so the only thing left is the clips. That's definitely tomorrows job.
Colin.

Made some clips to finish the stowage boxes. These are so time consuming but very important.
