While routing around the workshop I found some 3M Scotchkote 165. It's a polyurethane industrial tank and pipe coating which is used for lining water and chemical tanks so I thought I'd use it on the insides of the rails. It's pretty serious stuff so should work well. I have 4 tins of it so am going to under-seal the car with it then overpaint it. The welding melts it away immediately at the weld, but it's non-flammable so doesn't burn off in the surrounding areas.

Cut myself a boot floor out of 1.2mm mild. Made some cardboard templates and turned out spot-on.

Then took it down to my mate so he could swage some beads into it.

While I was there I picked up my new fuel cell and oil cooler duct.
I'm cuffed to bits with the duct. Another nice little bespoke touch.
