Today’s major task was the removal of the corroded remains of the steel flitch plates that connect the boot floor cross members to the uprights.  This was not completely achieved but should be tomorrow.

I completed the NSR wheelarch timbering today, including shaping the aft vertical.

New wheelarch timbers in place

Today I fitted the siderod vertical aft of the wheelarch which required a lap joint with the good part of the original siderod.  The next job was to start to build the wheelarch timbering down to the siderod, which took quite a lot of trial fitting and adjustment using the wheelarch moulding to ensure the final shape was correct.    Almost all the parts have been made and assembly should be completed tomorrow.
