Just a bit annoyed as i had a lot to do and the blood would not stem. Poor Terry was quite contrite over it but i said not to worry stuff happens. Not the first time i have given skin and blood and will no doubt not be the last.

You've done some great work on your clubman

Haha the picture does look like that as it goes. Now that would have been a pain. Paddy is fighting me with all of the hidden rust but i will get all of it or as much as i can possibly get. And thanks

Looks to me like you could have used duck tape instead of plasters and would have been able to continue properley 😜

Still though enjoy looking at your work

Back on it today and now the crossmember is finished.

 

So out came the last bit of major pitting

And new piece fabbed up

Welded in and dressed back

New engine steady bracket made and welded in place

And a quick bit of paint stripping and rust treatment

Something to sort out later

And some epoxy primer later

Well before i got to grips with Paddy today we whipped Paul's Cooper S out into the light of day. Its a bit worse for wear and will be going onto eBay.

and a nice shiny bit

 

and some of Paddy latest bits

Inner wing gusset now back to full strength

and the inner wing reinforcing plate for the shock mount welded

[sonikk4]

On with the inner wing literally

Inner wing stiffener / gusset fitted

Bonnet stay fitted

[sonikk4]

One of the last things to do on the upper bulkhead was the r/h bonnet hinge mount so it was a bit messy

so off it came along with part of the inner wing for access

New part of the bulkhead made and hinge mount pinned in place

all welded in place

 The inner wing section will get sorted tomorrow

Top of the flitch panel now done and dusted

 

so it was on with trialling the scuttle and welding up the extra wiper mount holes

 

A quick trial of the front panels will be needed i feel before the scuttle goes in properly.
