A good start to the week was made by welding the new channel into the cab door window frame.    I also painted the edges of the last metal plate for the rear seat back and found a suitable piece of  beading to finish the job neatly.  Next job was to fit the second hinge to the emergency door, – I had been awaiting the correct size screws – and then hang it back on the body.  I then was able to fit the window to it, thus completing all the offside windows except for the cab door, which I turned to next, welding in the short channel for the fixed pane, finishing the welds and then applying a coat of primer after checking the glass still fitted!  Final dust and leaf removal from the roof was also carried out, then I turned my attention to finishing the roof repair over the entrance door with P38.
