You know what they say, Tony: "It's not how big it is, it's what you do with it."
And since I have to do the best I can I'll stick with that saying..........

I've picked the bus up from the panel shop.
All of the major rust has been cut out and replaced. I bought a top hat section and had the panel shop guys use it where needed when replacing the out riggers. So there are a few holes that arn't in the right places but i'm sure it won't matter. I also had the guys replace the inner and outer sills under the loading doors and repair a couple of holes in the roof where there had been roof racks at some stage.

I will now tackle the smaller patch work stuff and hopefully get this bloody thing on the road !!!!!!!!!!!

Fitted the rear valance and seal today.
Had a crack at colour matching with some off white fiddly bits........ think it will be close enough just needs a little sun to help it fade in.

i've managed to get a few days off this week.
So...........
Today i remembered that i am not a good welder but i am handy with a grinder and flapper disk. removed the last of the rusty window sills and replaced a small section in the floor.
also started to apply a little filler.

plans are to finish the welding and most of the filler work tomorrow and thursday finish the sanding, blend some paint and maybe fit a battery and kick the old boy in the guts............. happy days
