Started the week by cleaning throughly the glass for the fixed portion of the half-drop windows.  Noted that two are badly chipped,  I have one replacement so need to order another and the two original panes are badly scratched which is unfortunate.  Next I stripped the chrome from the four divider bars, removed all the old rubber and then painted the non-visible flat side with silver hammerite just to keep it fresh.  Final job was to start creating the mkissing frame section from one of the half-drop sliding frames.  This needed a new lower horizontal.  After a fruitless attempt to obtain some brass section, I found a surplus piece of aluminium that could be adapted to the job.  This was proceeding well.
