Scottie - Cheers.
My original plan was to simply coat the cockpit's plywood panels in bed liner/Tetroseal for a very spartan look.
But the more time I spend spreading this stuff around the inside of the wheel arch, the less appealing that plan becomes.
I must confess I do love the look of an ally lined cockpit, so that may be added to the "Post MOT" jobs list.

Sunday Morning:
A bad night's sleep meant I was up early, but way too early to be making any sort of noise outside.
Still, at least it wasn't raining when I could finally start work on the car…
Removed some of the stuff stored in the boot.
It was actually quite chilly on the driveway, as the sun hadn't reached the area I am working in.
So I left the tins out on the rear patio where they could warm up gently in the sunshine.
Masked off the "sunny side" of the wheel arches.
Then slapped the first coast of Tetroseal on over the aluminium panels.
( Not easy to get any decent photos of the 'all black' finish. )

Passenger side:
I know my approach to joining the body shell to the
Moon Rover is a tad over-engineered, so say the least.
But, despite the fact it has taken me a very long time to do it, I really like the way this has turned out in the end.

Now I needed to complete the wheel arch join from the
inside of the car…
This is the view of one of the aluminium panels from the cockpit.
The bulk of the first round bonding paste went in from this side.
