    Just to the airbox and lower screen surround.
    Left front foowell patch up with a well fitting Schofield pressing.

    Also Westy top off to sort rail and some small perforation spots. That will mean a full L90d roof re-spray.
    Hope to get him back before Christmas for build up.

    Put my distributor with electronic ignition back on the engine. Changed the old coil I was running for another Bosch blue bought at Slough. Put the points distributor and the good coil back in the spares box under the back seat.

    Did a quick anti rust and filler and quick prime and fill on the front wheel arch. Its going through but it can be bodged again.

    Started stripping down the late seats I bought at Slough. Its a bit like somebody spilled acid on the passenger seat and it managed to eat through the sea frame in one place. Easy to clean up and weld, but I am a bit worried the springs will give up with corrosion fractures. . The seats had velour on them so they were not at all water proof. If you made the seat base wet, the water would soak straight in to them. I curse the 1970's.
     
  10. Re-woodified my buddy seats. I may or may not re-fit them.

    For Devon buddy buddies - which way up do your hinges go? This way?

    After buying two late late seats with headrests.

    Got my late late seat runners from Buttys Bits.


    Stripped down the seats .

    Patched and welded up a rusty frame on the passenger seat, welded a cracked frame across the bottom of the back (pushed back hard or stood on ? ) on the drivers seat and a snapped spring. Fat arse and damp through a brown fabric seat cover.

    Attempted to change upper brake reservoir. Pulling the lower pipe off from below with restricted space/angles was more challenging than anticipated. Will attempt to reconnect to new reservoir later in week when my arm starts to work again!

    Nice to find a Californian coin trapped down there. Cleaned it up in a can of coke - 1969. Hope the DVLA will accept this as proof of build date!
