Posted some details of the early stage of my fix to an '05 s-type 104 late last year. Other things have got in the way but here is a quick update.

All deck graphics, pads, non-slip and failing top glass layer removed.







Preparation and reglassing of sanded timber is next task. Vacuum bagging equipment created to assist with this step.
Manual pump (think massive bike pump working in reverse).







Vacuum reservoir with gauge and control valves (and yes, bottle is empty of gas)
