Tag Archives: Emergency door

12/1/2022

It has been very cold and wet recently, with just the odd  dry day. But I have completed painting of the offside frame ready for new panels and window installation. The emergency door needs to be rebuilt so that will be a major job for 2022.  This week I removed the fuel tank and am in the process of cleaning it down ready for professional refurbishment. Whilst it is away I will paint the chassis and carry out any underfloor work that needs doing.

The rearmost OS window frame has been repaired and is now in primer awaiting the refitting of the glass with new rubber.

The emergency door was removed to allow it’s condition to be assessed and ready for rebuilding as necessary.   This entailed also removing the rain deflector above the windows along the nearside.  Other work has been the reinstatement of the cover over the body mounting to the left of the entrance steps.

Work continues on the offside framing with the laborious process of drilling out broken screws and filling all the holes in the frame with beech wood dowels.
