Alan has set about the task of completely reskinning the body.
The panels have not come off easily as they were not only stick welded to the frame but were also spot welded.
He has come up with the idea of using modern vehicle adhesives and sealants to affix new 16g sheet steel. Almost every panel has something bolted through it to the frame so this is quite a realistic method.
The pictures here were taken in October 2009 36 years after I originally rescued it and it's great to see something is finally happening.
Some of the panels are seen here being trial fitted.
