917 restoration - post #8 - grinding the left side roof & nose

The 917 is now in the paint booth,
ready for Kevin to get busy grinding again.

Kevin explains it all in the youtube video linked at the bottom of this post.

Uncovering a seam which shows where a new nose was attached.

The left front fender has also been patched.

Kevin has put the green tape on his section

That's all for now...the latest youtube:
