Nice one Mitch, funny how Brazilian buses have a seam half way through the long panel.

Looking nice though

That long side seam reminds me of bays, they have that, making them lh or rh compatible, I guess.

Yes thanks wally doors sorted.
I will call you some time soon re stuff.

Yes the seam really tempted me to turn it into a double door actually but without pans I thought best to leave be.

Its painted in Acrylic and I am rubbing in my sleep but the finish is worth it.

Looking good. Good to see Allan is ok now.

That's a great result Mitchell- is that off the gun or after colour sand/buff?

Either way you have to be stoked and any repairs (hopefully not too many) will be soooo much easier with acrylic!

Been in paint for nearly 18 months now so time for some progress reports after a bit of a hiatus.
Fitted creative Rack
Indian IRS fitted
Adjustable spring plates
fat mat sound proofing
sorted wiring
new brakes
rebuilt and installed cab doors
fitted delux trim
etc

I am now disciplined to spend at least some time on the bus every day with winter coming I will get more time ( unless the surf is up!). I have everything I need to complete this except seat trim and door cards so no excuses. MItchell
