Looking good.
Putting it back together must feel better than pulling it apart.

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

Yes, but I've forgotten where I've put some of the bits & how they fit back together!
Pottering till midnight again, (my day off tomorrow). Spent some time cleaning up the wiper motor & the tracking that goes with it -once I'd found it all -then fitted the wiper spindles & washer jets.
The side repeaters were so gunged up & covered in over-spray it was easier to just bin them & buy new ones. This time I've gone with clear lenses & amber bulbs.

In the garage till 1.0.clock in the morning! Just pottering about, trying to remember what I did with all the fittings I took off 5 years ago.
Bolted on the demister vents, that are piped into the opening vent in front of the windscreen. Also greased up & fitted the wiper motor track. The motor itself bolts to the frame loop under the dash, which isn't in yet, but the track that actually turns the wiper spindles needed to go in.
After that I started fitting parts to the bulkhead -remote bleed nipples for the brake servo, cable guides etc.
Suddenly realised I'm going out for the day tomorrow, (Prescott hill climb in Gloucestershire), so had to pack up & come home, but could've happily tinkered all night.

Got some paint to touch in, in the corner of the cab. There's a very slight difference in colour between the previous batch of aerosol paint & the batch I've got now. I think I can gently sand it back & blend it in, but need daylight to really see what it looks like.
I've blown a fresh coat of lacquer over the bottom half of the cab back. It looks nice & glossy, but again, I need to look at it in daylight.

I don't think you can get arrested for it as long has the door is closed?  |

 Loads left to do, but it's nice to be putting bits back on for a change. Had a day off today to go to the vintage hillclimb meet in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, but called in at the garage on the way home. Resprayed the radiator header tank & washer bottle cover, then spent an hour searching for the fittings -before remembering they were in one of my other garages  |

Another couple of hours spent in the garage this evening in the company of Mr BayChimp. He cut & polished paintwork while I cleaned up various bulkhead fittings. Washer bottle refitted with new, powder coated retaining strap & 2 brake pipe bulkhead fittings either side. Still hunting for a few bits & pieces that I've squirreled away somewhere. |

Bob's arty photo.
I think the rear 3/4 view is it's best side.
Lovely to come out of the garage & stand in a nice cool breeze this evening.
