Re: 60 11 window
Drivers side arches done and heater wrap finished, loving this colour.
Bulkhead and rear window filler work done and epoxied today.
Hopefully epoxy engine bay tomorrow if it’s warm enough and aim for engine bay colour Thursday.

Re: 60 11 window
Another day in the garage today. Engine bay was epoxied, seam sealed and painted. One run in a subtle spot which I thought was pretty good, prick of a spot to paint.
Parcel shelf and drivers side window frames bogged. I’m not trying to get them laser straight, just covering up the hundreds of screw holes I welded, the pitting and the little dings.
Onto brake lines tomorrow and then I’ll either put suspension back in or start on the roof. I’m thinking the roof might be easier while I can still roll it.

Re: 60 11 window
Thanks mate, I fitted my first NOS part today….brake line grommets , can’t wait to put some actual bling on but still got some solid work ahead of me.
Had to tweak the booster bracket to buy myself another 5mm. Super happy with clearance now, won’t even see it once the bumper is on. Made a solid start on brake lines, didn’t realise how long it would take. I hate when you see nice cars and the brake lines are all wonky and look like shit. I had a mate who used to be a fridgie help me get started, he did an awesome job on his escort so we did a labour trade, I welded on his car and he helped me out.
Booster/master will both come back out once the lines are all set up.
I’ve got the kids home next week. I might take a bit of time to finish my tinware, need to get the engine back to Champ for a break in and tune.

Are the blokes with the wonky brake lines that look like shit driving their buses?

Thanks mate. Waiting on the last couple of AN fittings and then I’ll do an oil line update and get this thing back on its wheels.Kombiiknut wrote: ↑Mon May 06, 2024 6:58 pm Took a quick look at this bus yesterday and I can report it is looking very nice indeed, very flash underneath that is for sure..

Just booked in another few weeks of leave later this year. I won’t catch Rusty now but I won’t be too far behind.
