 Re: Belinda: on the road Great work! i quite liked the look of Belinder in her original guise & was unsure if changing the looks were a good idea, but now it's done it looks fantastic! I reckon it would look even better if it had a bumper like Eleanor's:

Re: Belinda: on the road Errrm, just wondering which way round a Bedouin bonnet should be fitted, as Bertie's and Eleanor's seem to be facing in opposite directions?  ken

The rear is more square with the front more streamlined which is the only reason I've put it that way.

I quite like the bumperless look for now, but you never know. There's all sorts of small cosmetic changes I'd like to implement, but sorting the doors are next on the agenda.

The rear is more square with the front more streamlined which is the only reason I've put it that way. Perhaps the "steeper" bit of the bonnet should go at the front rather than the streamlined (?) bit? Surely the squarer end could cause problems with opening otherwise as it could foul on the bulkhead/windscreen?

If some twit reverses into you or, like my friends dyane, pulls out in front of you and you go into him, you're nice new wings/grille and bonnet are gonna be all crumpled
