Four months on and things are looking very different. It is now looking very smart and awaiting the finishing touches.
Jobs remaining to be done include applying the lining, refitting: the windows, cab roof insulation, lights and refurbished air horns

If you look at the cab side carefully you can see the guidelines for applying the lining. The paint is applied using a brush. If masking tape is used to constrain the paint the finished lining has a hard edge. So a keen eye, boundless patience, and the guide lines are all that are used.
