Rosie goes under the knife

[martin maltas]

What started as a presumed small amount of water ingress, soon became a major job as both rear corners are completely rotten.

 

[jimberlake]

Wow worse than thought from first pic. At least you caught it before panels started falling off

 

[Panky]

Crikey that's scary
But it's lasted well over fifty years without being treated and a lot of the frame looks good, credit to the builders.

 

[PaulJL]

Well she is in good hands.

 

[admin]

Is it good to be using the original skills rather than acquired skills @martin maltas

 

[dodgeram]

Good luck with the carpentry.

 

[bazzateer]

Measure thrice, cut once!

 

[Gladys Crew]

It will keep you out of mischief for a few days Martin.

 

[martin maltas]

Starting to look better now, added some insulation along the way.

 

[jimberlake]

Be toastie that in winter, rapid progress Mr M

 

[Panky]

Very nice. Rosie will bloom once again

 

[bazzateer]

Nice work, should be all good for Commerfest!

 

[martin maltas]

A bit more progress, starting to look better.

 

[jimberlake]

Wow Martin, amazing! I say keep it polished just don’t do 88mph.

 

[Gladys Crew]

Wow the first Commer air stream

 

[PaulJL]

Stunning job. Maybe you should auction the old metal work at commerfest...

 

[Panky]

A 'bit' of progress I bet it was satisfying pulling the protective film off - did it come off in one sheet

'Maybe you should auction the old metal work at commerfest'
The old panels are fibre glass and probably very brittle now

 

[Jeremy]

That looks amazing

 

[admin]

WOW! amazing work as ever Mr M

 

[renaultvation]

Amazing work Martin, but might it be a tad dark inside?
