Started the week by assembling and chroming the two remaining droplight frames.  This took a long time due to having to seal the edges of the frames properly with black sealant.  By the end of the week they were not quite finished but next week should see both the remaining droplights installed.

Not much achieved this week as I have been tending to the MW.  I did manage to dismantle and dechrome two of the tree remaining droplights, in preparation for new glass.  Enjoyed a good day out in the MW on Sunday the 31st March.

Completed the first window pan acceptably after much difficulty and dissatisfaction, though it will need a lot of cosmetic work later.   This was then fitted to the bus, a job which took two of us so Anne assisted but only took a few minutes.   Started on the second, though not really satisified with the felt for vertical runner for window 1 but the felt is difficult to remove.  Started to assemble the next half-drop window, only to discover the half drop pain is so badly scratched it needs replacing, as do the other two which will inevitably delay the window fitting.    I removed the bottom horizontal part of the droplight frame by drilling out the rivets then removed the pane in once piece.   No more work this week as I had to attend to the thermostat on the MW.
