Cab now ready to be opened back up after the floor repair, still haven't got any mains power for the lights but working on it and also the bodywork needs doing.
For a bit of fun i have fitted a sound chip wired to the button so it plays the Valenta start up and running for about a minute, i need a bigger speaker to give it more of a deeper sound, but works well.

After a gap of almost 2 years of no work, the cab floor has now been repaired, just finishing off the final touches ready for opening. Body work outside on one side has suffered pretty badly around the logo side, this will have a temp fix until it's repainted at end of the year. I also have a plan what to do with the cab to make it interesting, hopefully Thursday will reveal it.
