  7. This bit got some welding later on (seat mount, not texan nipple)

    chopped a chunk out of a rhd bus we scrapped and used that to fix my floor

    I'd progressed onto welding by this point

    Then made the seat clamping plate thingy

  16. The cab floor repair got a hard time over the next few years as I never sealed it up or painted it properly so it looked like this (bad beaver)

    Sound proofing or insulation is a good place to start, or maybe any extra wiring you want hidden first.

    First job is to mask up anywhere you think is likely to get scratched whilst putting it back together - tape cardboard over the door shuts/sills - as you'll be in and out like a pornstar!

  19. Im loving it keep em coming beaver

    Once we both get confused in this thread it would be wrong not to build a bus between us
     
  20. According to police & hospital sources the man known only as Mr Para was approached by a local couple who were passing by, they approached Mr Para stating that it was a nice morning & was he ok, Mr Para responded by saying he was waiting for a bus. The couple knowing that no buses operate in the area made a swift retreat to their home & called the police...
