More steady progress while I wait for Mark the welding guy

 Trying to get as much done as I can before Mark gets back. So far have more or less stripped virtually every particle of paint from the dashboard. Has taken quite a number of hours to get to this stage, but about as far as I can go now. Probably just needs a bit of a go over with the sander and should be good.

Playing around with the tilt hood kit. I think the crucial part is making sure both sides are evenly distanced from each other.  See there is some damage here from the old hinges that needs cleaning up still.

Action Shot! Marked out where the bolts were supposed to fit and trimmed this area bit by bit. Didn't want to make a meal of it and cut too much meat from the bonnet. 

Bead blasting some of the tricky areas in the dash.

Another coat of paint stripper and then left it dry for several days before hitting it with the wire wheel

Not the best photo but it is coming along well.

Hitting the cab hard today with stripper and my trusty ancient paint tool. Had some good results with PolyStripper, but have run out so will be ordering another four litres of Cam Stripper. Tomorrow I plan to hit the chassis hard and give it a good coat of KBS Rust Seal. Also planning on painting the insides of the doors as well. Stay tuned! More tomorrow!
