still smilin ... its just a bus and this being a small vw community I think its best to be upfront and show it for what it is , like anything i ressurrect i cut weld then post pics . I have nothing to hide as I'm sure you've all seen with the unprimered welds on my panel

.
So dogleg off awaiting mr georges care package of steel .

And not a problem Royce i enjoy a challenge.

Thumbs up Klaus, great thread, good to see you gracing another bus with your mad skills, will be great to see another one on the road which is what it really is all about

Was there anything that didn't need doing on this thing?

New owner must be wrapped with correction work being done to such a high standard.

You and your screwdriver friend would get plenty of potential work from blue slip inspections if you owned a workshop mate

YIKES!!

First time I've looked at this thread.
You showed me the front apron at the Nats, Klaus, but I didn't realise the rot was this deep.

Awesome work Klaus, I spoke with Royce a couple of days ago and mate he couldn't give you enough praise.....and rightfully so, keep up the great work and look forward to seeing the bus in its finished state !

Its going along fine it might seem a bit extreme in some pics but its been decided to change some bits to suit what royce wants , while its apart why not.
new metal has been etch primed , and what a fk it was to get winnie the poo's honey spunk of the outriggers but thinners fixed that.
I'll ease up on pics for a while as royce wants to check progress in person and to do some work himself , he doesnt know this yet

Whose butt are you welding Tonz?

Always knew you were amazing with a welder, Klaus, but that is really showing how good you are.
Is there anything in the bottom 6 inches of that bus that didn't need to be fixed?
