Jackie Brown the CE2 OG paint 1978 Late Bay Microbus

You've left your xmas lights up on your roof....



Nice bus

 

Will it be ready for Volksworld 2013 Chris ?

Or are we gonna have to wait until 2014 ?

Is the plan to enter a different van every year ?

 

I nearly spat my coffee out then!!

 

Looks ace, wish I had room for 2 buses.

 

Thanks the air con pump is missing but I'll fit a new on when I get chance. I'm surprised how good it is underneath etc.

 

Lol I'm not lowering my camper but I may lower this one.

 

Will do M8 as soon as Milly is finished I'm on it.

 

A bay Baja that would be cool lol. Not with this though.

 

Lol I'm not surprised, I think Id have death threats if I chopped this up.

 

Me too lol. I got 4 now & no room for them lol.

 

I know my daughter put them up & hasn't pulled them down, I haven't got time I've been working everyday on Milly.

 

Lol no chance, Milly will be ready but only just

 

Crap video but this ius the first time I have seen it in the flesh.

 

Started working on it today, I started the obvious job, cutting off the front panel. When I removed the headlights I was surprised to find green paint, I thought someone had replaced the panel in the past. Looking at the inside though it is still in the original brown. I was really please how good & solid the metal underneath is,
I found a nest inside the headlight bowl:-



I'd only just started when my M8 Ian called around to give me a hand, I only had one grinder so we took it in turns:-

 

The old metal apart from dented was solid:-

 

All underneath is good:-





I got 2 front panels but this is the one I'm going to use:-

 

I then had to stop for the day cos 2 helpers turned up:-

 

For christs sake dude put a cover over your other bus whilst your grinding
Its freshly painted and im sure you dont want shards of hot steel sinking into the paint or the glass

Best of luck with the champers dude if you put as much attention to detail in this as you have with milly its going to be a stonker

 

Doh the other pics have just loaded and ive noticed you moved milly lol
Appologies chris im on super slow internet here
