The arch in the photo is just resting on. I ran out of sikaflex and also the glue I used to stick the rubber to the arch.
Ill get more tomorrow


Because it's going to travel at the speed of light.

Is the amount still as per quote?

 

Yes indeed.

not great but it covers it ok.

 

Seems a bit long over the car but a bit short on the sides

The bitterness of poor quality lasts long after the cheap price is forgotten

It still needs the arches fitting and fine polishing but I shall go and visit Carlos and do that there.

The fine polishing could well be better left until the car is almost complete as it will also serve to remove any storage marks.

 

It's going Thursday
