| It's amazing how much crap falls down there! Luckily I've had a very good prod with a screwdriver and the inner wings and channel are 100% solid - which is good Just gotta crack on with welding her back up now! | |

| Picked up the dropped spindles earlier: So far fitted one of them: Earlier this morning i spent more time with my drill getting the other door off - this one was a little bit more stubbon, but I got there in the end. Pulled up all the carpet again - thankfully no nasty suprises - just a lot of glue! | |

| I'm not sure how the pic of the garage got in actually and clean?! We're supposed to be able to fit 2 cars in there on Sunday - spent an hour tidying it after I took that pic - now got a large box of tools and a large box of bits waiting to go back on Bella. | |

| Just been out and put another coat of POR-15 on both pan halves.. shiny Then while that started to dry I decided that it would be fun to see what she'd look like with a wing on.... i liked! So I loosely fitted her bonnet and bumper: When the POR-15 is dry I might go and start putting her interior back in. Sorry about the quality of pics - they're from my phone! | |
