Hi Björn,

Here are the next photos of the mud guards and also the self made hinges. The rivet screws are M1 with nuts!!

All welding seams are done onto the covers for the motor room.
In the mean time the mud guards got some dents and after this i etch primed and primed all the parts.

Hi Robert,
thanks for the nice words from the "Master"

Here i made some holders for the tracks on the front plate. For more strength and better hold i soldered pins into slots of the holders and glued them into holes.

Hi Derek,Robert and Dave,
thank you all for your compliments.
The next are the mud guards. The checker plates are glued on and than the holes for the rivets and screws are drilled and afterwards are mounted.
The halfes of the hinges are mounted and also new holders for the mud guards are built.
