First photo shows the rear bulkhead items. Upper right is the extractor fan for fresh air while door closed for 'flying', and left bottom shows the inside power plug for computer to connect to. I was going to hide the computer inside an ammunition box laid across the rear floor shelf.

The door side has been sanded for painting. Other side has been primed. From memory I think the front and rear panels are primer also.

The windscreen pillar on door side has a crease at bottom. It was filled when I got it, but I didn't like the quality of the finish, so I removed filler for plating with aluminium. This has not yet been done.

The final photo shows one of the two lowerable legs that can be locked to ensure safety of occupants. The jockey wheel at front is wound down until the two legs are firmy planted. While the legs can be locked in up position, I recommend their removal for travelling.

Here are a couple of interesting links:
