A sticky weekend

 I've just seen the weather forecast, and it looks like the engine start is postponed yet again. I do want to plan this weekend though, just so I know what options I have.

And that comes to the subject, because I think glue and other adhesives will form most of this weekends work. From the snag list;

• Cut the front wheel arches as required / Fibreglass in the aluminium mudguards. I've been putting this off for a while but it's about time I just got stuck into it. I do want to see whether fibreglass resin attaches to aluminium though, that will make or break this plan. If it doesn't stick then I have some extra work to do.
• Glue on the printed brackets and sliders for the bonnet. Nice and easy for these, although it does need a bit of finesse for the sliders. They've been printed, they fit well, they need to be screwed and glued in place.
• Glue on the gearshift gaiter so it doesn't become unattached. This could be tricky, I might take my time with this one. Tiny areas to glue and very visible results so I don't want to get it wrong.
• Bolt on the rubber tie downs on the corners. This could be a lengthy task but also fairly enjoyable. Of course the main problem is working space on the passenger side, but I can deal with that. 
• Paint the body. Not anytime soon, still undecided whether IVA is first.
• Reattach all the trim pieces (roll bar, seat corners, seat belt edges). More gluing, again not difficult but will need some finesse. I was doubting whether these should be done before paint, but I could say that about a few things and end up not going anywhere.
• Bolt in seats. Ah yes, that could easily go to the top of the list. It's going to be fiddly but I really want to see whether my plan works for the runners. If not there could be some more work to be done.
• Bolt in seat belts. Similar to the seats, they can go in now and I can see whether they work effectively. I've done so much work on seat, belts and positioning that I am going to be really annoyed if they don't work. 
• Fit mirrors. These can go on although I just know that if I do, I'll spent the next few weeks bumping into them!
• Add boot lock strike plate. While I don't really need to be properly outside for this, I would be working at the open garage door which is going to get wet.
• Add boot lining. Nope, not needed for IVA so I'm going to leave this one completely. 

That's got to be enough stuff to get on with, I don't see how I can run out of stuff. I am going to print this list and pin it on the board though.
