Worked in the local area Thursday & Friday, so spent a little bit of time with the oxy heating the cut bolts that held the front seat mounts to the floor. Managed to get 7 out of 8 out, broke the last one of. Will have to drill and easy out it, later. Also managed to remove and snap a couple more small bolts off.
Sprayed everything with WD40 to soak for the next week.
On the weekend finished grinding the last of the gas cut section on the rear of the hull so that it is ready for the new steel. Marked out the position of the hand rails in the rear and ground off the remains. I will replace the hand rail on the left side as there are stowage boxes and ammunition located there, but on the right I will leave it open so that the kids can sit there and it will assist with routine maintenance and battery changing.
Removed the Vickers tripod mount from the centre bulkhead, nice clean sample of Khaki green paint on the mounting blocks.

I also managed to drop into the lazer cutters and armed with a seat back sample, dropped it off to get some cut for myself and anyone else who needs them.
