Sticks and hoods won’t break my bones.

Day 1. Let the stripping commence! I started the dissection of 05 KD 28 with removal of the spare wheel, then the bonnet, then doors and the tilt sticks and all, and finally the wind screen. Straightforward stuff so far!

Sticks and most of the galvanised parts have been painted (badly) in NATO green and in some cases over painted with silver paint – most annoyingly this includes the fly screens.

Plan for later is to remove the vent panel. This is likely to be less straight forward.
