Semaphores are hard to find, but i might be able to organise some for you. Send me a pm when your ready for them.

The brown bus is a dual back light bus, no semaphores.

Saturday with some nicer weather.

Welding a new lip on the inner panel due to the old panel beaters cutting it off...
Image

New top section replaced. When we lined up the corner panel, was nearly 20mm out of line and they welded it on like that before! Unbelieveable
Image

New bottom section
Image

New side lip which mounts onto the back end
Image

Making the bends to the curve by working with the metal and oxy
Image

Nearly there
Image

Welded in place on top section
Image

And picked up a new ride! More parts and panels bus.
Image

Enjoy

Wow Kuch, love watching your work! That new ride looks too good to be a

Yeah Kuch, that new one looks too good to cut up. What is the roof like?

You havent seen nothin yet
I took the photo from a good angle :)

Was a chicken shed once, wouldnt say theres much left of the floor and rear chassis.

Roof is bent and the floor isnt holding together, so you can notice a small gap on the top of the cargo doors, and rather large on the bottom where the bus has stretched.

No rear axle on that poor old girl. Looks like a dog with worms trying to scratch its arse on the lawn. :lol:

Sunday with some unexpected suprises.

I love the smell of grinding off bog on a sunday morning to find some brass underneath!
Image

Well, we can fix that
Image

Looking better
Image

Done
Image

Hmm, bit out of alignment
Image

Ahh, few tensioners can fix that
Image

Note, all metal, no bog in this baby. Even that cheap spray can matches the original colour!
Image

Dont they look cute together
Image

More next weekend.
