I started the week by moving the nearside front wheel into the front shed ready for collection, then finished the rear seat back adding a bit of piping where it abuts the body.  I also cut down the top bar of the cab sdoor window to match the new bits, which was mostly good except for a bit that needed fettling, then primed the whole frame.  I also started on the process of installing the boot light, giving it another coat of Alum White (which turned out to be cream!) then installied the bulb holder, wiring and a bulb which tested first.    A major job was taking the wheels to Treadfirst in Saffron Walden to have the tyres removed ready for blasting and painting.   I then turned my attention to cleaning out the boot, which was thick with dust, in preparation for fitting the boot light, switch and steel plate for supporting the rear seat back.  I next assembled the boot lamp and, having determined where the switch was to be fitted, I mounted a junction box in the boot for it.  Then I made and painted  wooden plinth for the switch.  Final job of the week was too start installing wiring in the boot for the boot ligh and other electrical equipment.
