This, I hope, isn't to be a long or hard re-do job, but I have finally decided that I have a small amount of enthusiasm to actually do my 110, so, armed with Landy Zone and a hammer...

Out comes the roof lining & stuff:

This is the sort of stuff I knew about and wanted to sort:

Roof Off:

Rear window & drivers door off:

Typically, the other door refuses to come off - broke 2 impact bits so it's a cutting job..
And also, I have left all my hex keys at work, so can't get the screen off, but look what I did find...

Next to come off are the wings, so I can get to all the rot and get 'em cleaned up & sprayed. I kinda gave up with them at the moment as I am studying the 'How to' bit on them over lunch..

Don't have a firm plan of what I'm going to do to it in the end, so open to suggestions!

What are your plans for the bulkhead? Looks like it could to with quote a bit of work. Are you going to weld repair sections in or replace the whole thing?

I see your inner door frame on the driver's side has a weld in exactly the same place as mine. The person who'd done it had succeeded in welding that detachable inner panel to the frame too, so it was a bugger to get off when I had to replace my window winder mechanism.

You're in boaty land and claim to have used a saw. Make a ply former and do it in GRP.

'Me 110 in Bits' - and there was me thinking you were restoring the German WW2 twin engine fighter!

Until I can get the thing fully exposed, I'm keeping an open mind... I'd rather not have the expense / trouble of replacing the whole thing if I'm honest.

Looks like YRM will be getting some business off you soon then. The nearside corner seems to have a repair panel on already, put over as an outer skin rather than let into the structure. That'll disclose a chamber of horrors when you take it off.

Spent the afternoon looking at various options and I have to say, I like the idea of being able to have an open top - I think 110's look good with them.
As I need to replace one door anyway, I am thinking of using Series style doors so I have the option to go topless if required.

Although it's a faff having to un-bolt the roof / rear cab section every time you want to open the roof!

I just converted one of my 110s to canvas and I have to say I love it. It's quite, less stuffy and o think they look great. But you do get wet. Not so much when it's raining and your moving but when your stuck in traffic etc.

How cold does it get in the iow in winter?
