Today was a strange day with not much work done on the car but another milestone achieved.   Yesterday we went to Crich to get some machining done on our new draw gear and also research the interiors of Dundee 21 and Chesterfield 8 which were also built by Milnes.  This is to help with the design of the missing parts of the saloon of 107. 

When we got to the tramshed we felt that our main priority had to be the door as it was nearly falling off on one side.  We thus spent all day repairing it but when Stephen arrived I was able to get on with the pannelling.  We got the last part of C Side's rocker panel fixed and took off the protective pads revealing the rest of the complete pannelling.  Jim Soper is seen here checking it for bumps.  It looks and feels very nice.  Just the top layer on A side to do now.

The door now has 12 new screws holding it on to a reinforced door jamb rather than 5 rusty screws holding it to a rotten jamb.
