Stripped down ready for welding

Together, Chris and I have the Spitfire prepared ready for welding.

We have removed all of the exterior and interior trim, lights, carpets and seats.

Next week the Spit will be loaded onto the back of a truck and transported to Wymondham in Norfolk where Andy Dann, proprietor of Classic Resprays will get to work with welding torch and spray gun.
