  3. Not posted in a while but loads been done the rear nearly done just the engine hatch panel lines to finish but hinge snapped but new ones here now but the gaps on the boot are spot on now crap before allso have addressed the camber issue by moving the torsion Arm mout which took some time to save it but was then able to remove horse shoes and get 3" more lift now got 5 1/2 inch of lift gone chassis down to full this is only all my shocks allow but more than enough and all underneath has been raised
    Started on the other long panel but takes days to get straight but not far off

    Shuts are looking very good. :cool: but I have to ask if you're going to fix the rear bottom corner of the door because it looks like you're past that point?

    Damn, that was unlucky but I guess it could have been worse. :)
    It was worth all the work on the front panel edge, you're doing a great job considering the work it has had while you've owned it. There can't be much of the original bus left by now, it had a whole cab didn't it?

    You could at least spoil the Mrs with a bit of cardboard to sit on!
