    So... :D After a while (a month and a half) another update.
    I'm working on the surface finish just now, by covering all the screw and imperfections with body filler, sanding it down, spraying with primer and the whole process again, until it looks ok.

    as you can see from the last pic, there still is a dent in top corner of this part, so I'll have to do that bit again. I will also show whole case after this process, which should be sometimes within this decade :lol:

    That's.. yeah.. awesome. Totally "wrong" shape for a PC but it's so beautiful. Does it stand on it's own like that?

    --->Gonna read through the whole log now (not too long though)

    Peter can't wait to see that painted, with the cover plate. :)

    By the way did you figure out the base mount, to get the angle you were after.? 3 threaded rods perhaps. :)

    The angle is correct as it is just now and it's balanced out so it can stand on its own on a hard surface, but to make sure it stays like that, it will be bolted to thick clear acrylic base plate...
