| 主权项 | 1. A method for forming a vehicle body, comprising: forming a rigid tub; mating the rigid tub to a first mould for a superstructure of the vehicle body; and subsequently rigidifying material in the first mould whilst part of that material is in contact with the tub to thereby form the superstructure of the vehicle body integral with the tub, said material comprising a superstructure portion and a bonding portion integral with the superstructure portion and in contact with the tub, wherein the first mould comprises a flexible portion where the bonding portion overlaps the tub and the rigidifying step comprises causing the flexible portion to flex so as to bear against at least part of the bonding portion; and a non-flexible portion with a surface that defines the shape of at least part of the superstructure portion where the superstructure portion does not overlap the tub. | ||
