I can also help with the wire brushing, hammeriting etc while waiting for access to the inside.

8) i'll put you down in the interior team :D i think out of all the teams the interior ones will have the most to do - even before you can get access to the van there should be loads to do - mock ups etc. and you can even use the 2nd van to build templates on :mrgreen:
