    It's Major we dropped off at Simons - new battery tray, fuel tank pipes and an mot ;) I'm away with work for a week or so, it was far easier getting Simon on the jobs. Gusbus is still being prepped for paint, blooming filling is taking an age!
     
  2. Front beam now fitted and waiting a paint slot at the sprayers .

  15. Thanks again to everyone for your positive input. Been to the spray shop today and chosen the internal colours. jaffa, black, grey. Then I was told that I needed a new sliding door track cover, and a new repro just won't cut it. So I started my search, with eBay, FBI, RCC, and the late bay wanted section. Within 30 mins I had photos and a purchase of a nearly rust free original part. Result ! Thanks to Carl one of our own.

  16. Well it as been one year since I last posted and my bus has now at last received its last coat of paint. This is nearly the paint complete, I will inspect it one more time for a snagging list, and then home by the end of next week. Then I start the rebuild. Just thought I would let you guys know Im still battling on and standing bu my bus.
