Things are moving on - I have sectioned the body and removed it, so I now have easy access to the chassis. This will be stripped in the next couple of weeks and sent for blasting. It’s in great condition, nothing to do to it except repair a couple of captive plates with broken threads in them.
Many thanks to Nick Green, who was visiting and lent a welcome hand.
Excuse the weird paintjob - still trying to decide what colour to paint it!
