drop them back in place to get a good idea.....I must admit at this point, I'm treading water so if I stuff up the next bit I'll have to start ALL OVER AGAIN......You won't see this coming...I didn't but it's the only way I see it happening......  |

Not something someone of "normal" height like myself needs worry unduly about  it's just those abnormal lanky b#ggers that'll be of concern, lol  |

Not that I've checked....as I have to dismantle mine first, and that won't happen until I'm almost ready to finish, but, the whole thing doesn't protrude any further than the Original Parcel Shelf.....with the exception of the Sub Pod, which, if you can remember mine and Crisps' sketches....a few pages back, sits above the Rear Window Release Handle and has 2 x 50mm Tubes...1 either side, which shouldn't interfere with anything.....I hope.........
It has more room than my Speaker Enclosure No.2......'cos it doesn't have speakers all over it...
...Thanx once again for the interest and supportive comments guys.....appreciated. |

Okay, Work out of the way until Wednesday, we continue. What I feared happened.....  Applied a Fine weave trim piece around the edges to temporarily 'Fill The Gaps', but the Air bubbles got the better of me.......... > |

| ....and because this is a 'Strip' 50mm wide, it doesn't like being applied over edges.....which is the cause of the Bubbles.Some bits were okay, but most wasn't. |

And while this is still wet, apply a Layer of Matt over the entire Pod, Top and Front and 'Wet Area'..........Squeezing out Air Bubbles as you go to get a tight fit..........
I should've stated cutting enough Matting to cover this earlier, but that would've given it away. As I mentioned a few pages ago...???, How I was going to attach all these together, after a lot of Headbanging......due to the music on my IPod....lol, Came up with this.
To incorporate it into the overall Aesthetics of the build, while still able to be remove if needed...albeit, by undoing the Seat Belt Tower Bolt, but it won't move and that was part of my plan for a 'Stealth' finish.....well, it sounds good...lol |

Now, before you ask, yes it will be strong enough....I haven't finished with it yet, You'll see........well, you will if you keep checking in to see how far along it's getting...lol. That's it until tomorrow, when I can remove them and proceed.... |

As you can see above, a second row on the RHS, as I stretched more to remove as many wrinkles as poss.
This shows staples close to tubes....only there to hold shape in place until resin goes hard. |

...so while that happens, I decided to bend up the door stops, which will be cut to size and installed once I'm happy with the shape of the pods...after they get cleaned up, sanded, smoothed...then I can CUT THE DOOR and continue......
