Phase 3 smooth boot progress :)

[Craig-o]

Right, have had my ph3 boot adverised for a while now with no takers, so decided to crack on with my original plan and turn it into a smoothed boot

Got the badge/bootlock shipped off to Gareth and the hole was taunting me (lol), so decided to crack on with it. Pic once the badge was removed:



The sanded down the surrounding area ready for welding (yes this is being done properly and being welded, not just fibreglass/filled over:



Welding pic....awaits the health and safety brigade for welding with no gloves :



We are by no means professional welders, but it is solid as a rock. Pic of the plates on the inside of the lid (welds are on the outside):



So that's how it stands at the moment, both holes all welded up and all the welds grinded down and prepped ready to be skimmed, didn't realise I didn't have any filler so will have to pick some up tomorrow

Also removed the washer jet as this will be pointless being there once dewipered, but does anyone have any ideas on how I could get behind to weld that hole up? Solid bodywork behind the hole with no access from the rear:



So yeah, I'm off work until wednesday so I'm hoping to get this done, primed and up for sale before I go back on Wednesday, maaaybe in time for FCS *wink wink* lol.....hopefully will be a bit of interest in it on here!

Zat is all for now folks, until tomorrow
