| Week 4 | |||
|
Monday morning with the doors ready to separate from the frames. |
 |
Just separated a perfect match to the perspex panel. |
This is the best bit, fill the door frame and finish the inside edge before bonding back to the Perspex. |

Time to think about paint lines. Put the inside line on and mask it up. Sand the bonding surface.

Here we have all the rivets installed and no cracks! 100% bonded to the frame. Put a few Q Cells in the resin to fill the tape join lines. |
