Sun's out - must be time to go in the garage!!

I bet you all thought R2 was going to remain a half-finished project. Well, your wrong and as usual I'm right.

Today was the first time in a long, long time that I managed to get in the DMW and carry on with some of the build. That's not quite true I have started on a horseshoe.
It was time to wet and dry the legs, ankles, feet and battery boxes. I have since the last blog been out there and filled and sanded a few bits but didn't think it worthy to write about. Once these where sanded a quick wipe over with some meths getting into the small areas and then placed into the new spraybooth (cardboard on the floor of the van). Just to make sure that the parts were filled I used some plastic filler primer from Halfords. Not to sure what its going to be like but its yellow so I can see where I have sprayed. Thes will be left in the van till Tuesday.

Another sanding due when dry.

                       

The first door is cut.

The shim on the horseshoe was added and then before tea I thought I'd have a look at the skins. I decided to take the plunge and start cutting out a door. Once this was done a needle file removed the small burrs. I only cut out the one door frame as I don't want to mix them up.

Coin slots in and ready to receive.

A set of coin slots from Don Jarr was stuck into the inner skin to make them look good. That was it for the day but I didn't start time lunchtime and had lunch after an hour too!! Got to keep the energy reserves up.









I do have Banebot wheels now ready for the motors. And once the legs are together I can work out what size of castor is needed for the centre foot.
