Well today(my birthday) I spent pretty much all day trying to get the cargo doors to line up!! All I can stay is what sick puppy come up with that design? The biggest mind fuck you can work on. The slightest movement on one hinge and the door goes in to orbit!! This one is going to take a few days to get right. Door gaps all over the place ahhhhhhhhhh....

Happy birthday Niko. You'll be right mate. Best to take your time now and get it right so you don't have any regrets later.

Moved on to the side panel that was rusted at the bottom, also changed the top vent as it was badly bent.

Had to repair the hinge mount too.

These little numbers are gold!!

Starting to look like a bus now

Cheers guys

, Chuck which stiffener you talking about? Every time I head in the shed I get stiff

Don't blame you for getting a stiff everytime you walk into the shed, The bus iscoming along nicely.

I'm talking about the bottom of the "c" pillar, the part you made up. Too many beers last night when i wrote the post

Cheers Chuck
