This month Peter...
The frame is welded |
Peter made a tray for it.

In the mean time he designed the engine door skins (This one is the rear door) |
And made the rear door frame. |
While waiting for the engine door skins to be made, Peter glued the last of the floor boards down. |
This is the drive and passenger cabin. |
Time to skin the passenger bin door.
|
And mount the door locks.
