Applying undercoat by spray turned out to be more trouble than it was worth and the finish was just as good from a roller. So I applied another coat to both the o/s rear corner panel and the mudwing. The mudwing will need a bit more flatting and another coat before its finished. This week I have been making starter motor cables and shortening the dynamo cables so they will fit the control box when it is reinstalled. I also applied filler to the bottom of the rearmost o/s panel where it meets the frame and is flat as it fitted poorly to the vertical beading just before the emergency door.

The rear o/s corner panel has been surface finished, primed and sprayed with undercoat. This took a lot of work to get right, hence the delay in recording progress. The o/s rear wheelarch mudwing has also been sprayed with undercoat. I may give them both another coat as the first is quite thin. In the meantime I have painted the bottom of the steering column brown ready for fitting the rubber draft seal, may need another coat.

Work has continued this week on the O/S rear wheel arch, which is ready for undercoat, and the O/S rear corner panel with final filling and rubbing down.
