Yesterday was spent manufacturing the three pieces of timber that make up the left-hand end of the surround for the registration number box, an intricate job.  The vertical part of this supports the horizontal frame rail under the rear window and the last remnants of this were removed at the end of yesterday.

Today I attempted to make the piece that supports the window glass from the interior.  I made the first attempt out the last piece of ash from Footes Lane but was unable to successfully cut this to the correct size.  The second attempt I made out of Iroko and is looking better but not yet complete.  As usual there is some variation in the dimensions along the length of the original piece which makes it difficult to make an accurate replacement.
