Thanks guys
Had a fun day plugwelding and grinding the cargo floor- all in all a pretty shitty job! also decided to add some chassis strengtheners to the section that i had to replace and finished the day struggling with the worst green panel I've had to fit -can only presume its for a later model (55's seem to had plenty of unique characteristics that you wouldn't notice at first glance) but well out of alignment with the original so having to cut and fill to get it all to line up - wish I had kept more of the original now

good to get some floors in - off for a couple of weeks now but keen to get back and finish up the steel and get painted
rehung the cargo doors briefly just to check her out - might need to replace bottoms to straighten them but great to see them back on the bus - pretty keen to get to reassembly stage

off the spit - underside all done time to work through the shed and write lists of all the bits to buy- then get bolting it back together - still plenty of welding left to do but feels like we've turned the corner now!
