Started the week by priming the outer side of the steel plates for the rear seat-back  then giving them a coat of brown.  They are now ready for fitting to the seat back.  Since then other problems have kept me away from work on the bus, plus the need for dust removal continues.  I did manage to start fitting the plates to the rear seat back, it entailed some trimming of the fabric and restapling but not a major problem, though I could have done it a better way.  No more work now until my chest problem is resolved.

Started the week by stripping the second steel panel for the rear seat back.  However, the dust produced caused me a major  chest problem, despite the fact I was using a dust mask so I had to stop.  Luckily I needed to go and collect the emergency door glass from Dunmow Glass so I had a chance for a break.  When I returned I set about providing an air supply for my pressurised hood mask, which proved to be very effective despite a leak from the the compressor water drain that required attention.  However  the second and third steel panels now have a coat of primer on the inside face.  Whilst waiting for these to dry, I welded the channel to the vertical of the cab window; this however proved unsuccesful as the welds were unable to penetrate the channel.  Worked stop then in favour of a deep clean of the shed and adjoining workshop.

Started the week by finishing stripping the old paint from the out part of the cab door window frame.  I need to weld in the channels for the glass now.  A break from the cab window was taken to give the emergency door handle mount casting a coat of cream gloss.  The next job was to drill and prime the cab door window frame ready for plug welding for the new long channel section.  Whilst waiting for the primer to cure, stripped and primed one side of one of the three steel reinforcement panels for the back seat.  These appear to be stainless steel, like the interior wheelarches, with only odd spots of corrosion.
