I'm intrigued by that socket on the bulkhead - do you know what it's for? Maybe an old electric engine pre-heater?

Good luck with the project

Your getting on fast. I guess its because it never gets dark this time of year!

Yes, great progress, keep it up! I'm pleased to see you've cut out the right hand floor edge for the proper panels as it looks like its been patched so much in the past.

Nice work!
