Wednesday 28th - A few photos

 The title says it all, a few photos ..... as usual I was rather busy and Gerry is on holiday. This did not detract from what was going on.

Bob had suggested cracking on with end skin removal on 13326, with two large acrows holding the roof up he removed something like 500mm . This will give plenty of room to weld in approx 400mm of crash pillar to each pillar, before this happens we remove the corroded buffer plate.

The new plate which is made by South Devon Engineering is then accurately clamped in place and fully welded, then the new pillar sections will be welded and the end frame is then complete. We will then be fitting new end skin panels, these look superb with no ripples or dents.

Ainsley is fine tuning a door fit, the doorfit team are doing an amazing job and the metalwork team are helping when needed.

We are using a belt and braces approach to the door fitting, after discussions with the doorfit team we have found a robust improvement to the mounting plates. This makes their life much easier where drilling and tapping is required.

Another inboard job was to make and weld in situ 15 small plates for Colin to attach the bottom pieces of 3 window frames, thanks to Rex for holding them in place while I welded them.

Meanwhile in upholstery, its all happening with Eve and John fixing a seat back repair for Rbr1672.

And its lunchtime, and not raining so here we are on the patio........

....... Watching Dinmore Manor heading north, carrying a large number of travellers.

Next week is the 'Diesel Gala' hope to see you all there, we are open on all 3 days.
