The Objective:-
1) To not 'over restore' (excuse for not being a perfectionist)
2) Keep original colour scheme
3) spend as little as possible!

New front bulkhead made from fibreglass. A lot lighter than the original steel one, but will give the nose section adequate strength.
Repairs made to tail section. The one advantage to it being cut in two is that it has made getting in to glass up the damage a lot easier. Also made for an easy transport in the back of a van.
This bit was real fun & games! It was just about possible to line up the rear of the cockpit edge, but due to a large amount of fibreglass being cut away in it's previous life mating the two parts together to get the alignment right took several attempts. Managed to get the first layer of woven fibreglass in place, but due to the dropping workshop temperature then decided to call it a day. (not me getting cold the resin!)
