 The other Scammell windscreen surround.  

As predicted, after removing the passenger windscreen, the metal work resembled a cheese grater

Cutting out and Welding in new strips of metal was fairly straight forward, but the bottom right corner was sealed with lead and the steel under it had rotted away completely.

This area I had to build up with weld.



In the last pic, the welds have been ground, sealed and painted

With the glass removed, it enabled the restoration of the dash board surround, which had been holed by water leaking around the rubber seal


The old flaking paint was ground off , primed and painted, looking much better.

Taking advantage of the fine but unusual weather, I was able to spray the rear mud guards, as well as two wheels and the underside of a wing, off the 1960 Morris Commercial.



.Progress of this type is not usually attempted outside at this time of year.
