Whilst Mr Collins concentrated on marking holes I spent some time grinding up the welds on the additions to the chassis.
Measured up requirements for the tow bar which I will make up once I get the required steel.
Rear section is now ready to seal and paint. I think.

Pictures of the rooves as earlier mentioned. First was to add the rib on the car roof to match the original Tilly. There is a piece of rope which fits between to rib and roof to stop vibration I suppose. Some grinding of the rib to allow access to the bolts securing the supporting timber strut. Also reattached the small gutter pieces to the car roof.

Also filled the couple of small rusted out areas on the original roof after welding in patches.

Two rooves patched and given a coat of fishoil and once that has dried they will be primed and painted.

Pictured is once of the several rear bumpers Chris had to choose from. A somewhat failed attempt at providing a tow bar. Hopefully my design will provide a little more resistance.
