Bus is looking great Ian (and your shed is sooo clean!)

I reckon mouse grey would be a killer choice - not too many buses out there in that colour.

Yeah Mouse Grey an white would be cool,fitted the rear bumper today

Mouse gray is an amazing colour. It was either that or dove blue for me. Mouse grey looks awesome in either single colour or white over mouse grey. Not sure what you would do with the bumpers though. I think it’s technically a 60’s colour so no “correct” way to do the presses bumpers.

Got 3 panels back from Damien, my panel repair man, he repairs them when he can, I just have to rub them back an spray them, not the ideal way to get them done, most panel guys like to repair them on the car, but I fitted them for gaps before I gave them to him, and it gets it another step closer to getting it going.

Passenger door done today, struggled with the Gerson inner bottom, it was way too big, had to cut the shit out of it, must of added another 4 hours to it, also did the cargo door bottoms, and the Gerson replacement pieces were way off, I don't know if this green stuff is getting worse or I just got some shit pieces, pay good money for it and it just don't fit, another 4 hours trying to get them to work. Anybody want to know how bad it was just call me, anyway I'm over it, ill move on , wont let it upset me,

Cubby hut nearly all welded up. woohoo!

Good work Ian, I avoid the green panels where I can but they’re better than starting with nothing. Remove that green paint though

I’m about to do my cargo bottoms too and I was mocking up last week.....definitely going to be some extra hours getting them to fit. Like Cooper said, better than starting from scratch but what is the point in making this shit if you don’t try and get it bang on? He’s been doing it long enough now.

Bus looks good, perfect wheel/cap combo.

Front is on, and the cargo doors, now to patch up the cargo floor. Ian
