Ordered African Iroko timber to make the lower side rods, panel bottom stretchers and rear wheel arches, total including VAT and carriage £225.

The current work is concerned with preparing to refit the entrance steps.  This will require the pillar steel plate to be in place, the floor edge to be replaced and careful alignment with the hand rails.  Ordered a tongue and grooved spruce board to repair the floor edge in this area.

Prior to fitting the entrance steps I need to fix the exhaust connection between the main pipe and the manifold down pipe.

Sprayed the entrance pillar steel plate with a second coat of green smooth hammerite, it is now ready to fit.

Red oxided  the reinforcing plates between the side rods and floor cross bearers.

Wire brushed the underside of the floor adjacent to the entrance ready for priming and painting.  This will allow the new metalwork to be fitted.

Vactan’d the angle iron supports for the floor under the entrance door.

Rewelded some of the roof steel where the welds were porous then primed with red oxide.
