Welcome to the forum. Think we may be bending your ear for some tips based on your expertise. :thumbsup

Nice project and look forward to seeing how it progresses.

@The Hobbit....think the clue may be in the title

Hi Steven!
:welcome to the forum!

@Andy B is just in the process of doing up a small Humber similar yours. His is a 4m, I think.
Not a complete idiot - some parts are missing.
