so the tip of the nose is the only unexplored and cleaned out place

wasn't expecting to take the rain cover off Mickey until next January for the big stripdown, but the cat has brought in two Mice, can't be a coincidence, they must still be in the tip of the nose under that spare wheel.

nope, no sign of a mouse nest, no sign of a floor here either.

the rear offside wing was so bad it has already fallen off, or been taken off by the previous owner, more likely, so no need to worry about that side just yet, on with the mearside. This has the best of all four wings a real keeper, 1 out of four.

Thanks for the updates and pics. Really looks like you are moving right along, should go a lot smoother being sheltered. You have your fair share of needed mending, but far from a lost CAUSE. Do you have a good source for the sheet metal parts needed. In the States here y0u can basically buy any part needed, unfortunately at a premium price though. Have you made any evaluation 9f the engine at all yet, like tried to spin the crankshaft with a pull bar or such, hope she isn't locked up for you. Keep us posted, really interested in your project
