Today it was far too cold and windy to be in the garage (and I've git no electricity in there) so decided to tackle the scuttle.
I first cleared the few mm of burnt plastic from the edges of the panels I needed. Then clamped them into my "works bench" (aka table tennis table) and began to drill and Cleco it together. It was all really straight forwards and went together well, the only thing I'd do differently is I would do the front and rear panels at the same time to aid with holding the top piece in place. It was rather flimsy until it was riveted but now a sturdy item.
All I need to do now is some black glue around the joints and then remove the tabs and parts of the rivets.
