    That's a shame Para. All the people who've followed, encouraged and donated to the project over the years will be a little sad to hear you possibly won't be able to see it through :(

  18. I've cleaned out the bubbling paint from the top of the hatch seal channel
    Ran the heat gun around the edges to dry any moisture out from yesterday's rain and got two coats of anti rust paint on.
    Hopefully that should stop the water ingress I've had and stop it bubbling up again.
