Paras bus resto

Clever play with words but I agree on the coat .

 

I’ve started prepping the inside of the lhs middle panel

 

Bit more prepping today

 

I’ve managed to source a pair of nos hinge arms
Pricey but worth it I think as I won’t have to get replacement bushes made/fitted
These should out last me hopefully.

 

Can you take a pic of the other side of the hinges? I still need to work out why one of my pins looks dodgy

 

Will do that for you later

 

Here you go

 

Good job.

 

That’s the inside of the middle panel painted

 

I’ve started prepping the drivers seat pedestal,bulkhead and door shuts

 

I’ve also got the louvred window frame prepped and painted

 

And painted

 

Looking good. I bet the paint is drying really quick in these temps.

 

Great work. Your photo of the driver's seat bulkhead got me thinking about the shapes moulded into the bulkhead. Does anybody know what they are for... obviously one is for Thor's hammer, but the rest?

 

The round ones are cut out on some models for ventilation pipework to the rear. I'd assume the straight sections are to put a bit of strength into the panel, but no idea on the Thor's hammer section or 2 sections at the top.

 

Thor's hammer is for the ashtray.

 

32 degrees in there yesterday hot hot hot

 

That’s why the ladies love me
