Hubby has been really busy with the chassis and he has got the nearside (left) sorted. It has been hard work for him, but he has done a fantastic job. This section was a real mess and now it looks fab. But what do you think, here are the photos

Rear nearside (left) section of the chassis re-done

This one also shows the bad welding work that was done on the offside rear (right) chassis

Middle section of the chassis replaced and looking good
They might only look like little pieces that have been done on this side of the chassis, but hubby used 10 cutting discs just to get the bad stuff out.
I have been busy with the windscreen. It has had 2 coats of silver hammerite and looks like it should do. The screens where originally silver, well galvanized steel. So it has been painted silver to make it look how it should do.

Different view of the windscreen
The screen is looking really good now. It was in a bad way as it had also been painted many times. We had to use the electric scraper on it to get all the old paint off. If we hadn't done that, the silver hammerite would not had gone on as good and it would look a real mess. I think it looks like new, well almost new anyway LOL.
Today we have also sent off the request for the Age Relevant Registration Number. Unfortunately, the registration that my Series 2 has at present is a 1963 number plate. So I have paid for a Dating Letter from the Heritage Motor Centre. This confirms the year of manufacture and is the document you need to support your request for an Age Relevant Registration Number. It can take up to 4 weeks for this to come to you, but it will mean that 'Jane-May' will have a registration that is right for the year she was built - 1960. It also means we will be able to have the black/silver embossed registration plate that all vehicles of this age had originally. I will let you how if the registration is one that is funny or not when it comes.
