Nothing for the moment!
I've still gotta fabricate the rear of the window frame! Once I've got that done I can make templates for glass!
Still looks like this:- (old pic, but you can see what needs doing!)

I can't wait to see it man....................

does this mean you now have a safari windscreen thats now too big to fit the car you might want to sell on?

I suppose!? I'll have to have a look at it, I think it got very battered when I was removing it!

i was thinking the exact same thing............except a little slower

I didn't think at all as I am real slow!

Yesterday wasn't very productive! After taking Rach to work (down the motorway), she insisted I fit the front screen, or she would start divorce proceedings!
So I had a crack at cutting it with a mini grinder! Didn't work too well! got half way then it exploded! So I ended up fitting perspex!




Today was a bit more productive! Got back into the metal work!
Finished off fabricating the outside of the window frames (inside of the car still needs work!). Starting to really take shape!

Dude................................

All I can think to say is You Ferckin Rock!!!

cool i love the look of the arse with no back panel looks cool

Sharon n Josh saw you driving today dude & she's just realised after reading the rest of this thread what you've done to the old girl! ... She thought something looked different & you looked like you were having to hunch over!!!!

You make it look so ezee dude .. you are a metal work wizard!

Sorry but can't make it Friday, Its Dave's mums birthday so gotta do the whole family meal thing. We might call in the pub on our way home if its not too late. Otherwise you'll all have to wait till CTTP, as he's decided that he's not gonna take it to the meet before that!

Ok Rach, hope u have a good evening

So it's going to be a grand reveal at the show then .... Dave you are a tease!

Don't know if this helps at all ,dude.....but I have a battery powered glass cutter (bit like an angle grinder but slower with a drip feed of water....and a diamond blade).....yours if you want to have a borrow.....let me know

I can cope with that as long as he keeps posting the pictures, otherwise I will have to hang around outside your flat with me long lense camera!

Thanks for the offer Steve.
When I've got all the templates sorted, I'll probably take you up on that dude!


Sprayed a sample of the paint just to see what it was like.... Not quite the cherry! Looks more like the candy apple red (or somewhere between the two!)!
Maybe with more more coats of it it'd darken a little more?!?.... Either way, I love it and it's going on!


Don't panic Moup, I'll keep the pics comin!
