  A new day deserves a new post

So my acetylene cylinder is empty.... no welding until the world wakes up for the new year in a week or so.

Well other stuff needs doing so had a look at a little ding in the back panel.
A solid object had impacted the rear bumper and bent it and created a little ding in the rear panel behind it. The same solid object may have also been responsible for destroying the original fuel tank.
Borrowed the serviceable one from my Series 1 Rapier which bolts right in.
This model has a larger tank than the earlier Minx models.

It was not a big issue so I just straightened the bumper and bolted it back on.

Pictures of dent in last post so here are some fresh ones:

Dent in rear after a little hammer and dolly work

Two low spots shown up by block sanding

A quick colour prime to see what still needs work

This is as far as you get with one spray can :-)

Nikko pen marks showing two spots needing further work

NOT the final colour, this is just a prime coat to sand back and see where I need any spot putty.
