How's that? You been poking at them with something?
Mine needs the Offside rear sill doing, lucky its more part of the wheel arch than the body for me though (overhangs the floorpan)
Can you get cover sills? I mean are they structral anymore with having the chassis?

covers are sh*t just to get it throught the mot really going to put new ones on to keep the strength in the body and there on £40 each plus ive got the car on its side at the mo so its easier to do it while its like that

Lovely stuff btw; I'd like to see the Imp as a speedster though; tiny aero 'screen, tonneau cover, kamm tail and single roll hoop behind the driver, with a D-type-style flowing back to it...
Mmmmm...

Top grammar tips!
Bought = purchased. Brought = relocated
Lose = misplace/opposite of win. Loose = your mum

Thats what she'll look like bar the twin lights, the roll hoop and the shocking colour! Smaller alloys on mine as well, no torque on a bike engine to get big rims spinning

Updated: Here's a pic of the colour the Bug's gonna be, Its PPG 2k undercoat Matt Black, with a liberal dose off Glasurit Extra Extra Matt Lacquer. She's pretty damn matt now, i love it! You can just see the Imp stuck in me Garage, Single skinned the doors last night and tacked them in place, the missus aint gonna like getting in and out of this one...  |

But i'm impulsive, i cant help it! The Imp will be rolling, with the engine mounted and hopefully the diff mounted in time for Cars In the Park though. don't need to do much more to the Beetle, so i'll be starting work on the Imp again!

Just an update on the RatRod: I've done all the smoothing on the front arches now, all the bolt holes have been removed  Also i got bored on Sunday so i started to build a wheelie bar, nice 52mm tube. just need some small wheels and its done   Got the day off on Thursday to spray her black as well, so she'll be finished! Going to the Uttoxeter show in 2 weeks if you wanna see her |
