finally got some time to weld in the new side panel(someone's red panel got in the way) in there

looks better than the chicken wire and fibreglass that was used before

also got the dog leg welded in, after plenty of mucking around got a nice gap

rear corner finished,just a few odds and ends to tidy on the drivers side then onto fitting new passenger side and cargo door skins.

what a great job you are doing there

always looks so drastic to take a bus back to its bare bones, but definatley the way to go to end up with a top notch resto. nice work.
