Bodywork

Made a start on striping down doors and wings for a 'dry' fit to see if they are worth restoring, some of them need more than a lick of paint!

N/S/F door requires new inner and outer lower repair panels
Just need to cut off the door bottoms off and weld this little lot in ;)

All new metalwork for door bottoms

Brake Accumulator Sphere

The brake accumulator sphere stores a reserve of pressure and gets number #1 priority over the other circuits. The diaphragm suddenly split releasing 40bar of Nitrogen into the hydraulic system it looked like the LHM reservoir had smoke coming out of it! Anyway a new one is on now with new seals and the bracket painted and the longeron painted and waxed.
