10 Cabin top damage. There was an attempt to fix the corner.

22 Top windscreen fitted. Note the newly made cabin hatch.
23 New pedestals for the seats.

26 Just before I started to pull it apart. The switch box is faulty with No 3 and 4 not firing.
27 Wires from the ignition module well and trully buggered.
28 The new switch box fitted with, on the left hand side, the new wires coming from the ignition module. After fitting a new rectifier the battery was still not charging. Reason: again wire rot in the alternator wires (yellow).
29 Closeup of the alternator wires.
30 Stripped the wire harness and replaced the rotten alternator wires.
31 The power head is taken off.
32 Hole in the exhaust baffle and the reason why water was getting in number 3 and 4 cylinder.
33 Number 1 and 2 cylinder exhaust area looks nice and greasy while number 3 and 4 are completely washed out from the water leak in the exhaust baffle.
34 Clearly the left two sparkplugs from No3 and 4 cylinder have never fired due to water getting into the cylinders.
