As far as panels go, not really sure. i was thinking autocraft mainly. Ive heard they are a good fit.

Any opinions on this?

cheers Chris
No, I'm just starting my own project but my resto will not be anywhere near as extensive as yours.
I figured that you had already researched places to purchase panels and I was taking advantage of your knowledge.

Are the Autocraft panels available within Australia, or will you import them from the UK??

Again, good luck and keep up the great work.
Looking forward to seeing it progress.
Take care.
Alan :) :) :)

My bus progress

Ive been spending a bit of time on the sand blasting cabinet at work, blasting the rust and old paint off the rear end parts and brake components for my creative IRS.

They cleaned up pretty good, all blasted and primed up now.

Also started collecting rust repair panels.

I need about 3 times this! All good, we'll get there.

cheers Chris
