guy66 Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 (edited) The sliding part of the window frames are made. Bend 3 metal plates for the opening grip and soldered these on to the frames. Started to look go to fit the generator cabinet covers and to reproduce the bottom fittings , luckily I had some originals to copy.

guy66 Posted May 1 Author Share Posted May 1 (edited) The generator cabinet door fit's on the rear of the radiobox, fitted the bottom stays and the top bracket for the locks. You need to unlock the rear panel's with a square key from the inside of the generator cabinet if you want to remove the side panels. First I will paint the inside of the louvres and slides section because it will be very difficult to get some paint on the inside wanes the slides will be fitted.

guy66 Posted May 7 Author Share Posted May 7 (edited) The cupboard shelves and side plate on the axillary generator cabinet are painted and on there place, that's a extra bit of interior work that has been done. Rear generator panel still need some sanding before I can start to paint the panel together with the window frames.

From the beginning of this project my goal was to get it so original as possible, the aim is high and this don't makes it easy . The lack of well documented information about this type of vehicle don't improve the situation , but now that I slowly see the end of this wireless project I am happy and it was worth the big effort .
