Yesterday and today I cut and fitted the aluminium cladding to the right hand side of the front bulkhead.  This included the vertical beading.  I painted the reverse of the aluminium cladding and beading with the same grey paint as the wood and used seam sealer as well in an attempt to keep electrolytic corrosion at bay.

Stripped and derusted to the two steel covers that fit in the corner by the door and over the body mounting.  These are steel and were fairly rusty.

I made and fitted the small piece of aluminium cladding that abuts the right hand side of the bulkhead window.  Another piece fits below this to match up the beading but the existing piece was to badly damaged by electrolytic corrosion to use so I am in the process of cutting a new piece from sheet metal salvaged from the leftovers of 2636’s restoration.  I won’t be able to do much tomorrow so this will likely be finished on Sunday.

Continued refitting panelwork in the vestibule area today, made a new piece of vertical beading for the forward door pillar and fitted the cladding for the pillar and the window surrounds.
