Slow progress

Sincve the last entry I've not made a great deal of progress, After a phone call with Westfield my two inner tunnel pannels have gone back to Westfield, and should be replaced with new slightly longer panels with the holes in the same place. That's the plan they've yet to arrive back and I should really chase this up.

The differential will never be seen, but will still be attacked by rust, so this is effectively resetting the rust clock on it.

Here is a picture of how the finished article looks, you can compare this to the earlier picture of it in the Preparations post on this blog.

I've also been able to attach the LHS footwell panel, and the scuttle panel. Here's the current
