Thanks guys.

I think it's going to head in the direction of a patina build, i think i've stripped enough now to know it will work.

I didn't get much time this weekend with the bus, but I have now cleaned up most of the rear, and made a start on the passenger side this afternoon. I had to stop earlier than i would have because i can't feel my arms haha.

I'm liking the direction this bus is heading. Great work on the preservation.

I've had it up on a hoist and have been able to put a list together of sheet metal this bus will need.
Overall it is better then i expected, although there is still quite a list. At minimum it will need

- lower nose section
- inner & outer valance
- cab floor
- doglegs
- lower cargo barrier section
- full cargo floor
- Front and rear crossmembers
- I beams
- outriggers
- Jack points
- L & R sills
- lower rear corners
- battery trays
- engine lid hinge carrier
- lower sections for all doors
