Hi all,
those with a long memory will remember that I started this about a year ago in my general thread, so as I now intend to go through to completion, spurred on by the NCX and the EWS paint jobs, here is where we left things as far as the body is concerned:
this elevation has had the heater vents inserted, the ironmongery etc. removed from the redundant double door and the new windows in the centre 'cut and shuffled' into place
3/4 view of the other elevation showing the 'framework' in place for the end windows. Like a lot of good ideas at the time, I will be doing something different at the ends as I have a 3" wide roll of 5 thou brass shim that I now think will provide a better (and easier) solution.
the only work to this elevation is the removal of the door furniture etc. from the redundant double door.
This morning I have marked out and drilled the holes for the roof vents, this afternoon I'll do the water tank, cowl and filler positions.
cheers
Mike
