Default The Tin Worm Removal Begins

Well I had the cab roof sand blasted and as usual the tin worm has had a good 75 year munch.

I have the replacement parts pre-made. Just have to chop off the rot and tack on the new. Jeremy's efforts some years back gave me confidence to do this task.

I have made quite a few measurements so I have it 'just' right.
Pictures for your edification.




Two Piece affair I had made up some time ago.


Cheers,

Ian

Default On I go

Well have chopped off one gutter, and cleaned up the seams as well as treated the rust as good as I can, welded up the rust holes.

Now tomorrow I will weld on the new gutters, sadly I miss measured the box section so I will have to get another couple of U sections folded up to make it all look original.

There's always plenty to do . Colonel Klink and the cat think its great!

Photos for observation,






Cheers,

Ian

Default Effort

Busy today, Managed to get the drip rails on, but the boxed sections I have had them made incorrectly. I have sealed up the seams and painted the parts.

My Welding Skills have improved a bit
