Yeah I am hearing you there. Some days you leave thinking what have I done all day.

The next part to tackle is above the rear tailgate, heaps of pin holes so it needs to be replaced with new hinges. Once this is out there is no more rust to cut.

I am going to try and colour match.

It is going to be hard to try and get it so you can see some primer etc.

Has anyone got any hints on doing this stuff.

This bus is really starting to get there so I am trying to think ahead as I want to keep it rolling.

Also looking out for a set of 17 wheels. :twisted:
