Windscreen

The eagle eyed reader will have noticed in "Boot Shiny Bits 3" that just peeking into the left hand edge of the photo there is a windscreen. What a mammoth task that was. There are some holes cut in the body, according to the manual "pre cut at the factory to ensure accuracy". That one had us laughing for a while, honestly the manual is a work of comedy genius.

There's some bracketry under the dash to put the legs of the windscreen frame on but they don't really line up very well. I made a template as per dax instructions to get the angle of the windscreen right and had to enlarge the holes in the body to get everything to fit. Went ok in the end though.




Boot Shiny Bits 3

I was starting to get a bit fed up with the block of wood as a boot stay so I dug around in the bin of spare parts and found the boot stays. A few rivets, a bit of Wurth adhesive and half an hour later and the boot now stays open of its own accord!
