Hi Tom, great pictures! What a lovely project - it should keep you busy for a while - keep the photos of the progress coming.

will do, i want to get it done asap, because i intend to use it for my work. But i think its going to take a little longer than first thought due to hidden rust. Where would people recommend for panels?

I have had dealings with ESM when I have been getting panels, they stock Hadrian panels which are a pretty good fit compared with some others

It all depends on where you are. It might work out cheaper to drive to some of the suppliers as some of the parts are heavy and cost a lot in carriage. That is of course if you have other transport!

Go with hadrian panels, they are far and away better than the sri-lanken rubbish that I ended up contending with.....

i've been searching and looking on line, and i keep hearing good things about hadrian, and they look reasonably priced. Just got to see what else
i need to replace and then make 1 big order.
