    Materials became available for a spit, so got to work on that. Ready then for the underneath to be cleaned up and painted no surely not paint

    Quality not Quantity is my standard excuse.

    With the shell on the spit now, it’s much easier to work on so back on to the arch.





    Tidied up bottom corners






    A little hole in the sill left to fill.



    And a lick of paint.


    Only one bit to repair on the quarter, the outer tank well bottom.








    Then back to box in the wheel tub.










    Back to the last crusty bit on the tub.


    Started to cut out the rot.

    That’s it for now

    Great work on your restoration. That spit must surely make life a lot easier.
