What you will find here: Intended to display minor modifications to my Westfield SEi, this blog now witnesses the two year rebuild (and more) after a major crash in October 2011. Have fun and feel free to add a comment at the end of any post.

Rear body panel

Finally ... after much trying and preparation, I manufactured the rear body panel.
From top: first bend, preparing second bend, second bend, cutting the edges, front & rear view.
Starting from a 200x100cm aluminium panel 1,5mm thick, I cut a piece of 200x60cm. The bends are 79cm distant which leaves some sheet to be cut. The panel now has to be adapted to the chassis. This means cutting it to it's precise shape, riveting and bonding it to the rails and then bending the top over the top rail.
Cheers.
