  6. The rear cab area is now primed and I have now started flatting the primer. I am using Upol guide coat, which is kind of a black dust which highlights the low spots.

    Here's a few shots of progress so far:

    Got a glimps of how straight the sides are going to be. Not as straight as I would like, but not bad enough to break out the filler again.

  12. Top work as aways mate , you don't update all the time on this but when you do it's always spot on
     
  13. Cheers Baybug, believe it or not I usually try to update every time I work on it! That's why it's taken 7 years or more. Work seems to get in the way all the time so I usually only spend 3 -4 days per month working on the bus.

    Hope your house move went ok and that June is tucked up nicely in the garage!
