Right-e-o people what we are looking at here is the hand-made cover that is sitting between the wheel tubs. This was made up to cover up all the new suspension and mounting points that now sit about 5inches up into the old boot space. If you look carefully you can see the two large holes that allow sockets into the top mount of the coil-overs. Most shops leave this area uncovered and it's a bit like getting your fish and chips without any wrapping paper, not only does it look shithouse but it makes a mess when you try and carry them out of the shop! This really tidies up the boot space. . .
Now I'm sorry fellas but I'm trying to do the bloody impossible with the next two photos. Photographing black on black is like trying to fit your thumb up a squirrel's arse, it don't work. Hodgey has made up an amazing cover plate for underneath the back of the car. It completely covers all the exposed areas except the bloody great hole that will eventually be filled by the fuel tank . . .
If you look carefully you can see the refractive reflection of the coil-over shock in the right side of screen, this is all the cover plate painted in gloss black. When the car arrived there was the same old standard braided fuel line and pumps and filters hanging everywhere that seems to be the 'in' thing at the moment, to Hodgey it looks like some lazy bastard can't be bothered doing the job properly or hasn't got enough imagination to work out how to finish a job neatly. I'm just gonna have to work out how to take better pictures so that I can do full justice to his abilities with the metalwork . . .
