Restoration Progress Continues…….

Despite the lack of updates here we can assure you progress is still firmly ongoing with the restoration, we’ve just been too busy down at the workshop to find time to sit at a computer.

The woodwork is now almost complete, with only the central support beam in the drivers side cab door still to do, unfortunately this does involve a full strip down of the door. The 12v electrics are 90% up and running. The new tyres are fitted to the old rims which have a quick coat of black paint on them. Some rotten metalwork in and around the cab has been replaced. The interior of the cinema space has been gutted and awaits soundproofing.

Photos to follow soon……………..

Following our press release the BBC have expressed an interest in making a 9-10 minute short documentary on the restoration of the mobile cinema. They will be visiting the workshop several times over the winter and are aiming to edit their footage with  some of our own for a thorough insight into the ups and downs of this interesting project.

We’ve got our trusty chippy at hand for the back end of September, along with the regular team, to help make the final push on all the little jobs neccessary for the cinema’s upcoming road trip.
