Wilby's long term resto.....8 years counting!

that looks great mate ,i carnt wait for the colour to go on

 

Had a pretty good weekend on the bus again. I picked up my doors etc from the bead blasters. They have been media blasted and covered in a zinc phosphate anti corrosion waterbased coating. I am well pleased with the result and feel it has moved the project forward by a month or two.

Here's how they looked fresh from the cleaners



The doors look in very good nick apart from a few dents here & there, some of which had holes drilled in the dent areas which I am told is common for repairs done in the states. I decided to weld up the holes before priming. I'm going to get a coat of Custom epoxy on first and then apply filler where needed.





Welded up the holes where reflectors were fitted.



Another dent to sort out



Here they are primed up










Sorry Para, I forgot to do a piece of steel for the scratch test :-[. I'll make sure I do it next time.
