Well done!!

Single cabs have alot of 'volume' of welding that other buses don't. So props to you for tackling it!

Been doing a few small jobs before i put the tray on
Fitting the engine lid stay
Both parts are from bay window with a bit of tweeking to make the part fit the ute before welding it on

Done the same thing on the treasure chest door
I also replaced the stay holder on the treasure chest door as i did not think the one on there would last long
