Yesterday I finished fitting the steelwork to the boot doors and today I finished painting over it with grey to provide an extra barrier for the aluminium skin. The right-hand door was finished yesterday so I started to fit the skin. I found that it could be formed quite easily after heating with a paint-stripping gun. Some distortion occurred when folding the flange around the flared section at the bottom RH corner because I didn’t clamp the top surface securely enough with a shaped wooden block. I will improve that method for the other corner tomorrow.
