GRP Boot lid

[shh120m]

Hi guys,

After many many hours of swearing and frustration i have finally managed to create a half descent looking boot lid. I had to destoyed my mould releasing it because i didnt wax it enough but i can soon take another one from it. Its not far from finished but still requires a lot of rubbing inside the tub part to get rid of all the bits of mould, should really have waited until its finished to post up pics but im like a dog with two willies after the day iv had (everything went well for a change on the build:D ). Im probably going to make a small lid, or just a cargo net to cover the boot. It wont take a weekly shop by any means, but it will take a good sized tool kit. Many many thanks to Andy at saturn for the advice and materials, your a star. Any way heres a few pics....

As it came out of the mould, with half of it still stuck to it.....

Well done, looks great, why did nobody do it before? Will you make a lid over it, or just strap things down?

I just had the traditional type of cover made, she fitted a zip to allow access to the fuel tank, finished the rear ali this weekend so that I could try it out. Just need a few clips poppers to hold it down.

Keep up the great work, I wish I could do GRP work,

Does any one else have any good ways to enclose the rear?
