Bit more progress new keruing boards fitted today
Seamed to take forever to router all the lashing eyes in all boards rebated so flush with edges of bed as well
Today I will mostly be fitting the generator exhaust system next door for when my new 10kw unit arrives. It’s a diesel in a quietener box so should be acceptable running in LU2 while I’m in LU1 dickinabout.
Not that I’m tight but paying over...
It has a six inch fan on the other side. Sucks out now rather than blowing in to cool the generator. The row of holes you can see as the inlet got me thinkin 😳. Mechanical air out (equals) vent air in (minus) variable blast air.
In other words...
Also been doing my veneers. Bloody tricky. Picture 1, before any coating had to be jointed due to the sheets being slightly too short. I got away with it though!!

Okay, so a bit more progress with the second row floor. I finally sorted out some fixings which along with the dum dum sealant allowed me to get it fitted. Obviously I had to drill through the rear step lip as that’s new material and you fit...
Everything interlinks (obviously) so in order to square away one bit i have to sort out other bits.
To get the front wing on and sorted I have to finish the bulkhead and pillar and add the rest bar, but to finish bulkhead I need to finish the...
Thanks to everyone that supported me through the processes of getting my Landy back on the road (legally). Today I collected the registration which completes the last step of getting "Pete" back on the road. I finally got through the compliance...
