This photo shows the new section tight against the aluminium body skin which will be bent back against the wood then tacked into place. All looking good so far. All that remains to do is create a new ‘A’ post, fit it into place, join it to the new roof section, and then bend back and tack the aluminium to the new wood. More photos to follow of my progress.
Dave, again like Ben I really should get out in the garage and take a look at woodwork on the K. The screws holding the lock ‘wedge’ on the body keep coming lose. Keep up with the posting, I am looking forward to trying out your P again
Good evening all. I have repaired the bulkhead rot problem by letting in a small new piece of wood. This was important because one of the support bracket for the steering column is bolted onto this part of the bulkhead. I am posting photos. First one of the photos shows the new wood in place. Second one shows the underside of the bulkhead area and the steering column support stay bolted securely in place. All the rotten timber is now gone from the A post. I have rough cut a suitable piece of wood which I shall carve into a new A post over the next couple of weeks. I am currently shaping the timbers for the base of th A post, all of which were rotten. I will post photos as I go.
Hello Dave
Lots of good work on your P. I have used glue to make sections up and then used them as a pattern to make another. I found the second one comes together quite quickly as all you are doing is copying the first, sounds easy doesn’t it. Keep up the good work your doing a grand job, by the way my M is at Pitney’s getting the body finished off, kind regards from both of us.

<p style=”text-align: right;”>I have spent quite a bit of time in the workshop since Christmas and have now finished and screwed the bottom pieces of the ‘A’ frame in place. I have roughly cut out my main ‘A’ frame post, and started to carve it into shape. This will take at least a week or two as everything has to fit exactly to it and around it. I have put pressure on myself to get the car back on the road by entering it for the M. A. C. Classic Rally on the 24th April. Photos of progress to follow.</p>
