bad welding repair years ago fused the wiring inside the chassis rail, discovered it when we were repairing the repair.

strangely the main starter to ignition wire still worked!!!

heater still in place, wiring been cut at some stage though.

only thing missing from this bus is the empka beakers (anyone got any??) and the washing up bowl(dont care about that)
