First coat of black on drive hubs.  Red oxide applied to nearside rear hub.  Vactan applied to offside rear hub after wirebrushing and degreasing.

Cleaned and stripped remaining enamel from AEC hub badges.  Primed and sprayed silver (rims left in chrome) ready for blue and red infill.

Started to remove panelling above offside rear wheel aperture, most screws just pull out as the frame is totally rotten.  Bulges in the body work discovered to be caused by heavily corroded steel flitch plates at frame joints.  This sequence of photos shows how the rubber infill is fitted above the mudguard and how the curve at the bottom of the bodywork is achieved.
