After more work we seem much closer! Some pics of a test bit of conduit in (a spare bit from our half Super Major).
And today we fitted the extra plates. The rear plate fitted.
The LH plate ready
and fitted.
And a general view.
More to come soon.

When i repaired the wings on my old major a few years ago i used a parafffin spray gun to spray used engine oil down inside the wing supports once the paint had dried, hopefully it'll slow the rust down in there!

We were intending to do the same sort of thing and on all the mudguards. I'll also blow them clean at the same time as I blow the radiator's on a regular basis in order to avoid the buildup of dust inside that caused this in the first place.

Well done Sandy, looking good. While you are on a mission to treat rust it might be worth taking the brake drum covers off and painting the insides of them (if you haven't already), mine rotted from the inside out and by the time i realised it was too late

Billy's covers are in good condition, but if we take them off we'll clean the brakes too.

Thanks Sandy. Don't think i'll take up bodywork for a living though, i wouldn't earn much due to the time it took me!
