This week has seen a lot of activity but not much progress.  The boot floor is complete, three reinforcement blocks were needed to pull the floorboards down level with each other and some final sanding to get them smooth for the lino.

Next job was to remove the remaining rotten plywood from the inner curved corner lining, ready for replacement from material on order.  This work included removing the remains of the wiring to the S&T lights (see reference photos) and the junction box mounted on the door frame outer pillar.  A replacement identical junction box was sourced from Classic & Vintage spares but with six instead of for terminals to allow for additional wiring.  I will add in a separate switch for the boot light at some point.

Work then moved on to replacing  the rotten horizontal timber  that sits above the rear number plate box and below the rear window.  The damaged sections of this needed to be cut away with surgical precision to avoid damaging the rear window glass.  A separate piece of timber with a forward facing rounded moulding sits under the glass on top of the horizontal frame timber to provide a seat for the glass and to provide an abutment inside the window frame for the glass.
