Back at it again as we continue with B780952, last time we left it with a partially fitted roof sheet. To begin, the west roof hoop was removed and the sheet pulled taught as it had relaxed over the previous weeks.
Once re-hooped. The perimeter of the sheet was stapled to the batons fitted under the roof edge.
The sheet was then trimmed.
Whilst this was underway a team tackled B775702 clearing the vehicle and scraping down the steel work ready for repairs and it’s conversion into a Fruit van
With the sheet fitting complete, the roof was then primed
Then once dry a coat of bituminous black to look a little more prototypical.
On a separate task, Matt sign wrote a pair of plates from Orton Mere Signal Box which is slowly being brought back to its former glory after the resent arson attack.
Before we finish a little team admin. Welcome to new member Chris and Happy Birthday Tim. Clearly old age is starting to get to him.
