both front door inserts have now been added. The body reconstruction is now completed and just requires some cosmetic work to tidy it up, tap out a few remaining dents and then paint it. All the ribs and framework inside the rear body and under the floor make it a real pain to paint and get proper coverage 100 %. The height means I would have to do a lot of work on a ladder or planks which I hate as it restricts movement and makes it more tiring. So I welded up some scrap using the inside frame for support and fashioned a rotisserie which I can use in conjunction with my over head gantry. This will also allow me to lower the body to floor level for easier work height. Once in place I lifted the body and rolled the chassis out. I put back the timber trolley set up Jake originally had the body on for interim support between other movements.
