This was ok for me to do however the next section will be hard

 

I don't envy you any of this - I had a firm rule - never buy a bus that needs the roof fixing. You are finding out why + water getting in at the top only goes one direction - downwards to rot everything else from the inside.

 

Yeah, ok so far but you still have a lot of work to do there.

 

I have the roof skin for that corner made up for me, I need to make the strengthens corner which is hard however doable. The rust up their is what rusted out the entire a pillar

 

inner strengthener started today.

 

better then this

 

Anyone have any idea what the best way to drain the petrol tank is. I think it is about 1/2 to 3/4 full. I am hoping I can save some of the petrol to put in my other car. Now i have the fuel line clamped with the mole grip on the fuel line after the fuel filter.

 

Take the mole grips off?
Add grips tank side of filter. Replace fuel line where you have the grips with one long enough to reach fuel can, or stand fuel can on something. When can is full, tip into car and repeat.

This seems so obvious, perhaps I misunderstood your question?

 

The reason I ask is because sometimes only some of the petrol comes out as this makes a vacuum and then when I disconnect the filler it all comes out and I did not want to spill petrol so I will remove the filler first. I was thinking of doing it this way anyway. Thanks.

 

@Zed does this look better? It is a RHD as well

 

Looks much better doesn't it!
What do you think?

 

Look great and the fact that it is a RHD is even better

 

Nice! Where'd you source that from? That'll save a bit of faff having to convert a LHD to fit.

 

bought them from JK
