Start the horrible job of sanding of all the old paint and started to repair the fibre glass cracks. No idea what type of paint the last coast was but it quicklies gums up the sanding dscs so its a slow process and requires the disc to be changed regularly.

Started to bond in the fibre glass saet pans today.

Continued bonding the body to the chassis.

Started bonding the shell onto the wooden chassis. Epoxy Resin was mixed with a filler material to give it a consistency of peanut butter. This was then spread between the wood chassis and the fibre glass shell before the shell was held in place with a load of self taping screws as shown in photo below.
After abut 4 hours when epoxy had set (but not fully hardened) the screws were removed.
