I then fitted the boot lid, mounted the hinges and installed the lock mechanism. I realise that I don't have a boot lock and it isn't on my list of parts to acquire so that is a bit of a slip on my part. I managed to modify a piece of M10 studding to do the job and was pleased with the lock action. The boot fits surprisingly well. I did have to work on the shroud to get the gaps a little more consistent and by the end the lid fitted well. I am rather pleased with it.
My main challenge is that I am now away for every weekend for the next month and will then be away for the summer leaving me little time to work on it. I would very much like to have the rear end in primer by the time I leave in July which means evening work and so far I have found myself too exhausted after work to get in the garage. The year 11 students finished their last maths exam yesterday so I am hoping for a little less action at work to enable me to get garage time in the next four weeks; must try harder.
