    started to pull a few out today
    [​IMG]
    all was going well till we had a little fire and my 2 yr old had been playing with my keys so i could nt get to my fire extinguisher i know i should of had one out anyway but no damage done and lesson learned :(
     
  2. K+ for a new resto thread :D

    I like your dent puller jig :D

    what are your plans for the bus ....other than getting rid of the dents and interior? is there much body work needed?
     
  3. it need s a battery tray and various boots and rubber for the mot oh and brakes !!!!(nts dont forget the brakes )
    the dent puller needs tweaking but i ve loads of threaded bar and ali angle from work so working with what i can get for nowt
    but as a whole going to try and keep it as stock as possible
     
  4. bit pleased with myself went from this [​IMG]
    to this [​IMG]
    a bit of progress at last instead of just spending money i ll do the other one tomorrow night

  13. Quicker
    Someone ran into the back of the truck the other day I used the fl to pull the back end out
     
  14. Found a little rust [​IMG] and the battery tray that I knew about [​IMG]and
    [​IMG]I've cut the bit out at the back and treated with rust killer stuff and cut a plate ready to weld in
    [​IMG][​IMG]and will hopefully finshing cutting battery tray out and weld in and waxoil the lot after a few small dent repairs round the corner [​IMG]
    Trouble is mrs lowie has had hold of my credit card bill and has been working out how much i ve been spending on diago so far so may have to leave home for a day or two lol
     
  15. That looks a good base to start from dude
    The forklift with westy seat made me chuckle
     
  16. That's the only welding needed so get that done drive shafts back on all ready fitted new old exhaust and brakes adjusted up and that's the backend all done for the mot less a few dents then spin him round new anti roll bar and ball joint rubbers
    Then off for a mot simples
     
  17. Lets hope it all goes to plan for you dude and good luck with the mot
