Seems the more i remove there is more to remove, took a break today and tackled the rear brakes this think has not rolled by itself for at least 20 plus years, drummed rusted to shoes, have a good puller but still took hours.




Trial fitted the headlight panel which i rescued from another bus years ago and the first of some green panels to go in.
