Bodywork renewal continues with the cutting out and fabricating the fire pull box. Dave Jenkins proving that he isn’t just a pretty face but a decent welder too! The inside has also seen more cleaning and paint, as well as more tread plate being put back into place.

Steve Lucas starts stripping down the reverser and he is on a path of discovery as he has never done this kind of thing before. This includes making new linkages which have swivel joints too.

A start was made on the stripping some parts from the V12 in readiness for lifting on to a flat wagon. This would be able to be manoeuvred under the works crane as and when required to strip more parts off. However, the V12 is too long for the wagon so we will have to make it shorter.
