9th May 2010

I'd not spent much time on Sabrina over the last couple of weekends but managed to rebuild the rear hatch cover.  The cover was still covered in vinyl and I assumed that it should be ok and might just need a little filling, but like most things on her once I'd striped off the covering I found that the plywood was shot so I decided to cut a new piece from an off cut that I had.

The problem that I wanted to avoid was having to shape the roof, all the edges on Sabrina are curved, its one of the things that I love about her.  My woodworking skills are not bad, but if I'm not "in the zone" then it doesn't always work out how I expect, plus once glued, it ain't going to come apart again.

However it worked out and I was more than happy with the result, photos will follow when I mount it.
