The exterior panel above the wheelarch opening has been fitted and abraded. The wheelarch liner and mud wing has been refitted and filler applied to the join and is ready for final sanding and paint. The offside rear corner panel has also had some attention with filling and sanding.

The offside wheel arch is complete. I riveted the liner and the mudwing in position in the wheelarch opening. Made a bit of a mess of trimming the parts but I think it can be rectified. Removed it from the opening to allow the panel above to be marked out and fitted before final fitting of the mudwing and wheelarch liner.

This week’s work has been focussed on preparing the cab door with a skim of filler, to get it nice and flat, and making the bezels to hold down the cab floor rubber draught excluder. The steel draught excluder for the cab has received some cosmetic filling and a coat of primer on both sides. The cab door lower panel filling was completed and primed, ready for undercoat and the bezels have also been primed. The front floor section of the cab has been reinstalled and the rubber seal for the steering column and pedals has been cut and is ready to fit next week.
