This project has brought a number of us even closer, as a cancer patient I have a vested interest in doing this but it humbles me when I see others stopping up time after time. Anyone to help with the tidying up this morning? LOL
Biff I'm in Sussex this morning but happy to swing by tomorrow morning to lend hand tidying.

Just joking Ian, I tidy myself so I know where the things are when I need them, not much left now, waiting for Daniel on Thursday now. Once Daniels done we can bolt the console down and fit the upholstery then run her up, sea trail, clean, job done, easy really ain't it. LOL

Same as Ian's post old mate, got some of your upholstery fitted last night but the saddles will have to wait until Daniels done because they obscure the bolt to lock the console down

She's an international b275. I'll have to look on the log book but I think it's 1964

Changed my mind Alex. I put the a frame on plugs again. Gold played VHF plugs and the standard bulgins for the navs. Now we can take the frame off

Biff, you've been great at keeping the thread going with shedloads of pics detailing every bit of work and I'm exceedingly grateful BUT....

Are you using a Kodak Instamatic?

All your pics seem to have that 1950's tinge!
