| The rear right side of the baffles don't work well, so some modification was needed. The main issue was the angled section between the two vertical edges. | 
|
| Dad marked and trimmed the RHS baffle (Part 8) and then flattened the remaining material. | 
|
| This then provided enough flat material to work the fixing for an extra braket. | 
|
| Dad made up a new bracket, drilled and then moved onto prep'ing for spraying | 
|
| I mean time worked on the front baffles. To start with was the completion of the LHS floor inboard angle. Simple enough, then I went round match drilling everything to #30 and dimpling / countersinking where needed. | 
|
| This some of the pile of off-cuts from the baffles. There is a sgnificant amount to be removed - just take it slow and steady, use the cardboard templates to start with and the clay to refine. | 
|
| Then with the weather looking good which switched modes to prep'ing parts. We have a large batch of things to prime. | 
|
| Dad worked through the smaller fiddley parts whilst I did the large sheets. Edging, smoothing and thoroughly scuffing. | 
|
| Then it was AllSol degreaser ready for the Acid wash / rinse before priming. The problem was we where about an hour and half too late (all day), the wind came up, the temp went down and we had to flag it. We will continue to amass parts and hopefully the weather gods will oblige later in the week, like most things it is the preparation which takes 90% of the time. |
