I've been dying to sink my teeth into this

Most of the bolts and screws came out after some good heating, only one door hinge screw required welding a nut to it for removal

All the bolt on doors are now removed

here's some more pics

Awesome vid George! Do you think you will have to cut the side section out and beat straight and then re-attach? Or, will the porta power be good enough to do the job? Very interesting build mate 8)

God, I wish I could work that quick.
Had to slow the video down to make me feel a bit better about it.

Will be great to see the whole thing documented like that.

I'm planning on unpicking most of the bus in reverse to the way it was assembled in the factory

I'll be dismembering it in chunks back down to floor and chassis level then get the "pan" built and slowly repair and re-attach each piece with some small surprises :twisted:

I'm looking to repair and reuse as much of the og metal as possible and build in as much of the present character

I'm planning for another big night on this next Wednesday
