have you thought about welding up the spare wiper holes ?

I did actully... Do u think its worth it?

[jack_marshall]

I did. Its an easy job too.

Depends what look your going for.

Cut 2 square plates to go under the scuttle and clamp them in place.

4-5 small tacks is enough. Seam welding will just distor the skuttle.

Looking good Mart! How did the boot liner fit? I welded up my spare wiper holes - cut a little round plate and held it in the hole with my magic patching tool - magnet on a stick! Like Jack said, coupla tack welds and the jobs a good un. Get it sorted!

Well the ideas I have are;

Red - boring
Green - Different in an orange car
Yellow - yeh...
Chrome - hard to clean
Silver - meh
Black - shows the dirt
Blue - Either dark or light...

I like the idea of Dark blue, along with some Chrome....


Think that'll look nice in a orange & red engine bay...
