3. Using a combination of clamps and self tappers allowed these panels to be put on and taken off as many times as required prior to welding.

 4. The inner section of the rear light mountings were made from a pair of cut down rubber to chrome bumper conversion panels. The repair panel under the reversing light was made from 20g mild steel.

One of the most tricky jobs of the whole project was the replacement of the rear wing top seams. Although a super thin stainless steel cutting disk was a big help for removing the old metal.
