Talking about gravity: Gravity does not care for you trusting or not ...
For gravitational reasons I was forced to stay out of my barn rather longer then I ever imagined. Sob. Meanwhile everything is in place and healthy again and almost 100% functional
While working on the trunk floor I took out the splash panel which had some minor holes and was not looking to bad under its dirt encrusted surface ...
Some cleaning revealed many holes and some dents. Maybe the panel got struck by a blown tire or road debris.
Since the panel was rather thin in many places and the support strut was rather weak too, I decided to replace the panel and parts of the strut.
The splash panel worked out nicely too, just the beading is missing still, but I have to get a wider beading die first.
Alternatively I could work it out with a hammer, but this always looks a little to rough.
Regards,
Clemens
