Slow Progress

Slow progress during this week, as I had to return to work.

My target has been getting the wings and bulkhead removed, so I can give the chassis & engine a good clean.

Managed to remove all the front lights ready for the wings to come off.

Then attempted to remove the bolts between the wing & bulkhead. Managed to get one out, and the rest were slipping on the socket.

So I thought of a new plan, to lift off the Bulkhead, wings and front panel all in one. I can then disconnect them all off the vehicle, which I reckon (hoping) will be a lot easier.

Also ran a compression test on the engine. 3 Cylinders are about the same, but one of them was about 30% lower. So I guess I'll be removing the head to see if the Head Gasket needs replacing.

Some pictures below of progress so far (and one of the spanner I snapped trying to undo the passenger side bulkhead bolt!).
