When I bought the bus it had a couple of inches of dirt,pine needles,broken glass etc in the rear floor area and with holes in the roof and been outside I full expected the rear floor to be rooted
To my amazement when I got it home and cleaned it up there's a chance this floor could be saveable. Will know more when I get it on the rotessrie and it gets a light blast underneath

Yep thanks Ian
Just your standard truck brake drum wood heater, pain in the arse to cut and weld but great for using a heater
Looking forward to spending some time next to it

Been busy in the shed this week for couple of hours each night enjoying the warmth of the wood heater
Making the rotessrie / roll over jig for the bus
After taking a embarrassing amount of time to remove the shift rod tube to then be able to drop the beam out I was able to complete the front roll over jig

Making this jig was made a lot easier from having my mates to copy and measure off
Just need to finish of the rear one off hopefully this week
