Hi All,

Suspension rail and battery tray fasteners countersunk, and weld line to simulate two pcs hull plate cut in then weld applied. Cheers

Looks good Dave, simon.

Thanks Simon, I've set myself a goal to get this on its tracks in the next week or so.

Some progress. DB

Tim Catton spade and fire extinguisher fitted, all parts secured down with 10ba fasteners countersunk slotted

The rear deck was the last piece to disassemble and clean, the usual rust and thick paint kept me busy. Cheers

Lovely details David, really starting to "pop".

Small job today, added some fasteners to the forward section of the deck The front mudguards are slightly to long /should be level with the vertical edge ...a fare amount of work to correct as bolts (outside edge) will also need realignment/ holes soldered up ....is it worth doing?


Cheers

Hi All,

Front mudguard modified, thanks for the advice Steve Tillett. Cheers

That's other side completed...check a few times and then cut. Cheers

Couple of little jobs completed today

A few hours spent after work
Cheers

Been busy the last few days, tyres cleaned and refitted, along with bearings, just a few wheels to add the fasteners to finish.

The amount of work it's taken to bring this Jagdpanther back to this stage is emence (I wiill not take on another refurb) just my tiger 1 late to finish (this was also a full strip down) and a sturmtiger! thankfully the sturm was a bare metal build. Cheers

Refurbs are two jobs, take it apart, like restoring an old car, but can be satisfying, keep at it Dave, only four more to doo, regards Simon.

Agreed, a refurb done right is a BIG job..... The cleaning and removal of old finishes can take ages. But remember ,..... " The power is in your oven gloves ! " Love the slogan on the box..... " Epic Week......

Chris.
