Having primed the corner timber section yesterday, it is now waiting for a coat of grey.  It can’t be fitted though until I’ve repaired the first side pillar going down the offside.  So today the first job was removing the remains of the steel reinforcement that connects this pillar to the body bearer under the boot floor.

Next I made a hardboard template for the side rod, one which was the complete piece from the first horizontal down to the boot perimeter rail for references purposes.  Then I cut out the rotten section and made another template that was just the repair section for this piece.

I then cut out a repair section from  2″ x 3″ Iroko ready for further fettling tomorrow.
