Owing to the extremely hot weather (37C yesterday and 40C today in the garden) little has been achieved apart from stripping paint from some of the panels that will need to be replaced as part of the entrance vestibule refurbishment. This included the surrounding inner panels for the forward large window and the beading and side panels adjacent to the the entrance door. I noted that the door hinge is chrome but has been overpainted with black paint which is easily removed.

Stripped and prepared the panel that fits below the large window in the bulkhead in front of the entrance vestibule. This, and the window, needs to be refitted before the outer cladding of the pillar can be fitted. There was minor corrosion of this panel along the lower edges where it abutted various steel components. All the edges of the panel have been treated with waxoyl to slow down further corrosion. The panel is otherwise undamaged so good to be reused.

Primed the steel part of the front bulkhead today, including the small window frame.
Stripped the paint off the cladding panel for the forward entrance pillar, ready to trial fit tomorrow.
