Then off to have the IRS fitted and front beam in for a test fit.
Probably should have put the wheels on and checked door gaps also but have taken a gamble given the weight distribution shouldn’t be any different on the trolley frame. After all they bolt onto the same part of the body rite!

Now at the paint shop for final prep before EP primer and then colour. Roof first

[D-Train]

Looking straight!

[Beatts]

Shiny bus so trying to get it pretty good. When I look at the bank balance I do question my decision to not go the rat look.

As a wise Wizard once said, when your driving down the road with the safaris open you won’t be thinking about what was spent.

[Beatts]

EP primed for for now. Hopefully more progress in a couple of weeks.

[MID WEST DUBBER]

Looking sharp mate

[splitthis]

Looking expensive too . Going to be awesome mate, just keep throwing the green ones at it.

[067DUB]

Lovely work, the visual progress is very satisfying !

[Cam Biscuit]

Any updates mate?

[Beatts]

Yeah I’ve got a stash, just need a few more hours in the day. Will try to get some updates up before Easter.

It’s all epoxy primed and filler work has begun.

[morts]

That seems to have come together super quick Beatts.

Sounds like you must feel like Rob Lucas does atm with his cash gun... (LNP electoral ad for our no-SA friends)

Sure is Morts I’m not stuffing around while I have a green light from the home boss to get it finished.

And yes there’s money leaving my wallet quicker than a pissed bloke surrounded by strippers.

Good progress Beatts. Who's painting it?

[Beatts]
