Here's a few pics of my 61 bus I got from ebay a few months ago.
I've got a little done but many more hours to go.
Plans are IRS rear end disk brakes, a little lower than stock and a new looking smart bus. A little chrome and two tone paint job.

Good stuff - keep plugging away...

Just a little bit of work ahead of you there, couple of other toys wrapped in plastic as well

Yep, few more pics coming but its going to be a long road. The other two cars a both p76ers, one six straight from the factory bought by my dad and is till on the road and the other a v8 custom beast built from the ground up by me back in 95.

few more pics to add to where I'm at now.
Bought two engine stands and some 40x40 rhs and made up a rotisserie for cooking up my spit, I mean split
Starting on the bottom chassis cutting out the rusty sections.

Gday Nick, I also am a P76 owner and I am looking for a Splitty, you have bet me to it! Good luck with the resto.

Well there you go, the old pees are making a come back as we know a great car!!
Here's my pride and joy

If your fabricating skills are anything to go by; you won't have any trouble with the splittie..

Looking good so far.

Cheers
Tony

Thanks Tony,
The buses are a little less complex than the monocoque chassis of the p76 thats for sure.
This was the last thing I designed and built based off an edge buggy, its now for sale to help with the bus resto.

here's a few pics of the rust areas that need replacing.

Few progress pics of the removal of out riggers and chassis beams, using a spot weld drill bit.

Nice progress!

Cheers mate, these are old pics from before I went to the states 6 weeks ago, just trying to catch up. Today I've been working on closing my shed in and hooking up my new compressor. Hopefully next week I'll be blasting the whole bus then welding new parts on.

Fixing the bulkhead hole, got a panel off a gumtree wrecked bus and the color matches!!

Worked on the steering wheel, its pretty cracked up but nothing a little sanding, filling and painting won't fix.

It come off the shaft with a puller then its was dremel time, vee prepped the cracks then applied two part epoxy.
Filling with car bog and then primer and paint. Ended up putting on 8 coats of clear just in case it wears off.
