Not quite how i thought you were going to treat it (rat look) but great to see it progressing. Keep up the good work.
Cheers
Nicko

15 windows are the BEST! Looking good mate. We might need to chat about this panelbeater mate....

Hi Nicko, by the time I replaced the front panel, doors, long side, and sandblasted around the windows again there wasn't much paint left, anyway I have never liked the Ratlook, to me it just says 'I'm too lazy to fix the rust'. To me there's only 2 styles, Shiny Bus or Well used an abused but no rust showing, an of course they have to be lowered, I had a standard height bus, worst day of my life!

Hey nice one Ian
Much better to be standing up welding instead of lying on your back
