Mixed Monday - Part 1:
This turned into a bit of a stop/start kind of day with other odd jobs / chores taking up time too.

Anyway, the first job of the day was to find a way to support the bonnet.

So I dug out my workmate & some plywood.



Plus some cardboard and an old chair.





Threw a dust sheet over the top...



Et voila!



Note: The tent is open, because despite the fact this was only 8.20am, it was already like an oven in there.

The nose of the bonnet had been hacked about due to being stood on end to paint the inside.

Plus I'd banged the bonnet about a few times moving it in and out of the Summerhouse.





Then, while the driveway still had some shade, I carried on sanding down the body shell.



Having made just enough room to work in by moving the bins about.



By 2.20pm the body shell was literally too hot to touch!



So I had to stop sanding outside and switch to sanding in the tent instead.

I tidied up the bonnet nose.



Plus various other rough patches around the bonnet.



End of Part 1…
