Bus is looking good mate, a missus that can weld eh, all she needs to be able to do now is rebuild the motor and you have the perfect wife!

I love those masks, uber cool.

she can bleed brakes and set valve clearances with only minimal supervision about as close to perfect as they come

not to much i am gonna do it in stages rear pasenger corner and battery tray plus filling and sanding on the welds plus align the doors properly then on the road for a few shows then passenger side rear arch and probably have to do the inner sill too wont be driving it to cruz to the prom this year tho

Cool rolling restos are the way forward

Yup, mine was a rolling resto, and its great for keeping the project on track, because you end up HAVING to finish something on it, where as if it was tucked away in a garage, it would never get done.

every thing went to plan to day got loads done welded in the new battery tray on the passenger side after cutting the old one out unlike the person who did it last time!! then welded in the new rear corner . ground down the welds on the drivers side primed it and gave them a quick skim of filler needs a rub down and then i can see where to go from there




getting there has to be ready-ish for van west

Looking good bud its going to be rock solid in no time

Nice one Rob Van-west you say it'll be a corker of a show this year

i hope so chris white has asked me to do a pinstriping panel jam in the main marquee and i am shiting it cos i have to get the van done and find time to practice my pinstriping aswell as continuing to drink too much

getting there finished welding for now any way got the rear valence welded in and repaired the holes in the floor from drilling out the spot welds and sanded down the first skim of filler just need to fit the rear lights and re-skim the filler and build an interior before vanwest

Looking good dude

nearly there for now gonna get her back on the road for a few shows then start on the passenger side



got some new floor tiles today so i should at least have one thing actually finished for vanwest

wel i've got about as far on her before vanwest still got to do more filling and sanding tho i have to remove about half inch thick filler on the panel above the outer sill not even sure why it's even there seems straight from the inside probably find out when i remove it all tho

Nice one buddy, will have to bump in to each other at vanwest..
