Returning to the 'Tin' HAL unit, I decided that the separate jumper cables I fitted a while back were too thick so I have now fitted finer wire jumpers and repainted the affected areas. The new jumpers may now be a fraction too spindly but a layer or two of paint will thicken them up a bit.

While I had the wire, the cutters and the pliers out, I decided to spend an hour or two and do all the front end handrails and the windscreen wipers, plus the front lamp irons. The result is shown here.

Next major jobs are to do the glazing and lower the power bogie mounting a little (the earlier SPUD motor sat at the correct height but the replacement Black Beetle needs a cut-out in the floor.

Then, there are all those door handles to fit!
