Just a little update as been busy with things and bad weather doesn't help, but got inner windscreen panel area cleaned up but rain stopped play so left that till next week finished the bottom of the sliding door ready for skin .
Bloooooody weather so went in the garage and converted a newer engine lid in to a 72 lid with fat hinges got this one from fleabay for a pound and this is the original one from the 72 so I cut out the hinge parts and transferred to the newer one [/URL going to carry on with the sliding door now
Had a few hours to day to play so started on the front again and got the inner windscreen panel in Then got the front panel on and checked the fit got most of it welded not bad for an old panel that's been laying around for a while. Come on summer.
Got the bumpers out to repair going to need quite a bit of work got some big hole's a least it's all there so see how it goes as I don't whant to buy some more
Cheers paradox. Just want to get it on the road so I can have some time with my girls. I will do it up as a rolling resto this one.
Hi m8 been busy with the new house so I'm only consantrating on the crossover to try and get it on the road. I want a van for the summer, it will look a ruff rat style, but been cleaning things to go back on and some welding
How did you find the fit on the inner door bottom repair panel? just done an almost identical repair on an early door....same 450mm outer skin by the look of it too! lol
Hi m8 the fits not bad but still needs some cutting to get it right but all panels need something on these old buses
Im learning that lol I found the corners a challenge.....couldnt get mine sitting right where the roller arm sits.....ended up beating it in with a hammer lol
