Uxter Plates and Engine Clean




This week I've completed welding up the base of the back cabin. I have also replaced the uxter plates with 6mm steel on both sides, these were thin especially where the stove used to be in the original cabin.

I have also had the engine steam washed which has brought most of the paint and grime off, I've also taken the plates off the sump, drained all the oil out and cleaned all the internals out as much as I could reach. Also started the process of sanding the engine ready for its new paint job.
