Working away at fitting this centre belly pan
Making it removable if you ever need to access the clutch or handbrake tubes
Welded tabs down the chassis rails and used nut certs on the centre cross members

Nice work mate. Removable belly pan is great for smuggling too, the kids will all want to borrow the mango for getting booze into festivals :twisted:

Ha ha, been there done that only we were in a lowlight and poped the door cards apart to smuggle grog into falls festival. Rocked up in 35c heat with the windows up, I guess the inspectors thought we had A/C in the bus
The memory’s champ should never have sold that bus

So after a bit of a false start mid week when I thought I was ready to go only to realise that I forgot from my last spray painting job that the air regulator didn’t adjust down for lower pressure, which turned my shed into a blue light disco from the 90s with the smoke machine stuck on.
Plus it was bloody raining everyday
Come today and with the fire going it was just like mosses parting the Red Sea, I unscrewed the top of the wax and grease remover and out came the sun so I was able to push the doors open and let there be light and warm sunshine for that perfect baked oven job
