Good aren't I eh.
No not seen it up for sale :/ purely because I haven't been looking to buy a car

There's winding someone up and then there's going too far. If I do spot it I'll be sure to drop you the link

Just make sure you use them only for shear loads and very light tensile loads
 
As long air can't get under it they'll do just fine :)
They can hold a mudflap that smacks mud and rocks @ 100+ mph :)
What size you using?

Using your sunroof as an example:
They are good at stopping it sliding around (sideways forces)
Not as good at stopping it being pulled off upwards as the lip on them isn't that strong as the shank if that makes sense. They're also poor for use where there is a lot of vibration (engine mounts etc).
That's just for the aluminium pop rivets mind, there are many other kinda of rivets

Ta mate :) so what my idea was to have to bolts at the front just in case the rivets give way. Too idea? Then use 5mm stainless all the way round at close intervals. What chu think?

I got a bit arty me. I fancied dribbles in the sunroof blank. Can be rectified if I do it like it at a later date so I thought why the hell not.

some cheap tiger type sealer on bluey chris, bonded underneath, then a bead of black silicon around the top join (masking tape either side of the bead to try and keep it neat) :)

Nah, pop rivets are perfectly fine for a panel like that. You said you were using them for bonnet hinges and stuff so I thought I just give you a heads up on them so you know what you can get away with and not for those other bits :)

Much appreciated mate. Yeah I did think using them for this may have even be a risk tbh. But like we said. As long as air cannot get under Neath it. We be cool.

So new fuel lines. I think it was garden hose before @noddie can you confirm lol. But yeah everything is starting to go in. Bit weird lol. Attacking it with underbody seal. Rust can piss off. Still thinking what the hell I am going to go when the car gets rusty again. Dunno whether if its worth cleaning her up again. I suppose its less work next time round cause then its just patching no?

it was all over her. Scary how much has been taken back.

Putting it back together must feel good!
And no, it was fuel pipe:)

Its really weird Ed. The only reason why I said it was hole pipe is that it had shrunk and gone hard. Like i have seen with pipes that get cleaning Chems on. I like my big black ones. :D
