C8A HUW restoration in Greece

[Haridimos]

Thanks Hanno!

There hasn't been much progress from my last post but a lot of stuff has been gathered since the beginning of the year which I haven't shown.

The most important development is the completion of the refurbishment of the GM6 engine. I will post all the work ..after repainting the engine!


So, here I have the Roof Hatch before and after sundblasting, and the spraying with the primer.

One pair of the springs has been removed! (..but I have it somewhere and I will put it in place!)

(Note the bronze part and the footloops that have been removed..
All bronze parts was covered with tape before been sprayed with epoxic primer..)

Hi Kostas

"Some... secret holes have been revealed above the lights of each side!"

The birds in Greece must build their nest in different locations, on both of my Pat 13s the holes were under the headlights and in both cases there was evidence of birds nests.

Progress is looking good it is going to a really good restoration when it is all done.

Cheers Phil
