Hello there!

This is my 1967 11 Window rustbucket!

After owning several Bay Window's and searching for a Splitscreen in Tasmania for nearly 2 years, finally found one and picked it up a couple weeks ago. It definitely needs LOTS of work, but came with a heap of rust repair panels. My welding/mechanical skills are pretty much zero, but i'm keen to learn! so prepare for some questions! I will upload some pictures as i go, which hopefully keeps the motivation levels high!

So far ive removed the front floor, test mounted the front Inner Valance and welded in the A post blocks.

Can anyone recommend what to spray on the Inner of rust repair panels? (Do i just use Etch Primer, then Fish oil it?)









Cheers Jamon.

Welcome mate looks like you bought a good one….! Not too much to do there

Few more progress pics! slowly getting there! it's definatly a learning experience but I think I'm slowly learning! sooo much rust! First part I tackled was the inner and outer Cargo doors, then mounted them up to make it look a little more like a bus!

Don't laugh at the first attempt at welding haha, I'm getting better, I promise. Took it slow and it didn't warp, was pretty happy with how it came out actually!

Mounted up the cargo doors,

also, welded in the inner front valance and the A Post's/brackets, that's pretty much where I'm upto atm, trying to fit in as much shed time as I can! will have another crack tomorrow!

great work - you're off to a flying start!

keep the pics coming and you are sure to get plenty of motivation from the boys and girls of DSK in return

Thanks mate! motivation in key! but the weekends just aren't long enough!
The rust repair panels the bus came with! Sooo glad I didn't have to purchase these, that would of been painful!

Slaved away all day today, and got the front end pretty much sorted! oh yeahhh, Starting to look like a bus now! I did learn something today.. Safety glasses are a must! my eye is killing me!

great work mate, you're crackin along.

Nice work, smashing it out

Does anyone know if the floor where the engine hatch can be purchased new?
Some muppet has welded some square tube, and what looks to be maybe a bay window hatch there?
