Hello Kostas!

Great to see how you are progressing with the HUW. I still have to do a few things to mine to complete it like the rear seat bases and the rear door fold down table.

Phil...

Hi Phil! How are you? Where have you been?

I have the same missing parts like you.. Well... not only these but many many more...

Let me show you what we've done those days.. It was really hard to work in the cold workshop.

We finished the rear door window frame, and we changed a rotten strap at the right door over the driver's head.

Please, feel free to put your comments here to make the necessary corrections before painting! More photos to come!

Default Front doors scratch built work.

Default Divider wall.

One of the many deficiencies that we had to face was the total absence of the divider wall between the driver's cabin and the radio compartment.
So we had to reconstruct it from zero level with sheet metal.

The WS19 radio table started to taking shape also..

Can you see the BSA chorehorse at the fourth photo?

Default ws 19 radio table.

A couple more photos of the radio table. :

What gave a great help to the scratch built was some HiRes photos which my friend MLUer Alex Van de Wetering send me.

Thanx Alex!
