Fair play she's coming along. Good work and she's looking well smooth.

while I'm not a fan of the German Pretender to the Throne I must admit that the work you've done here is awe-inspiring! You've done an amazing job to make it all fit and the bodywork is exceptional. My only criticism is that the boot hinges just look a little "cheap" and unfinished. surely there is a way you can do them that would blend with the smooth lines of the car

yes im not convinced i did the right thing on the boot hinges, i kinda ran out of ideas and bought a stainless steel hinge for a boat door in the hope of copying the type on the convertible bini, but as u say they look small and cheap, i should have kept it smooth or went for big and brash, may b have to leave it for now as the car is needed soon then change it at a later date.

didn't mean to critisize, sorry! You could try and make a "hidden" hinge, one that goes inside the car??
