Lovely lovely work. I had a sharp intake of breath when I saw how much was missing around the torsion tube. It was also a job to work out the correct order of the pictures - really fascinating to see it all build up like this from basically nothing

Mag article:

I know PCGB have a copy in their offices, seen it a few years ago.

It was 1989 or 1990 year.

With the repairs completed, the torque tube area could get a couple of heavy doses of black etch primer. the holed heater tube was repaired, painted, welded in and the area prepared for closing off with the outer section

Bottom section done Barry moved to upper front end, panel part made by hand and partly with the pullmax, the shape being more complicated than appears to fabricate....
