It's been awhile since there has been any progress on the 21, The guy who I had doing the roof repairs turned out to be a cock took the money and that's about it, it's in with a new guy now and every piece that was done by the last bloke had to be cut of, so new panels are in to start fresh

[tatvw]

Roof windows all tacked on and done right this time, pretty happy with the progress of my new metal guy, body work should be done by Christmas

Hey Geoff - Where are you on this project?

Always slower then you want but progress is progress, passenger side and rear roof section finished of at Christmas, bus was back under the grinder this week was hoping to not have to take out the whole drivers side roof windows but they had to come out for new metal so hopefully by end of next week the roof is all finished then it's onto the alignment table for the airbag set up to go under it, pulled the 4 in narrowed bay beam out and now running full creative airbag set up front and back

Roof is finally done, only taken 2 years!

Linz

[tatvw]

Aiming for September Linz, I have a shopping list of bits I need to get it done so hopefully $$$$ and time work together

[morts]

I know it sounds corny, but every little bit you get done means there is less to do.

So ends the lesson for today

Looks like quality work, As morts said , when my restos get overwhelming i found it easier to think of them as 1000 little jobs rather than one big one, like a jigsaw one piece at at time and they come together. M

With only the front nose and a small sill repair left for body repairs, I sat down over the weekend and tried to work out what is needed, who to buy what from for the best prices, trying to just use local suppliers, except for the wheels there custom coming from the states
Last of the repair sections where bought from the bus stop this week, Niels been great to deal with over the build
Front and back Sherman disc conversion ordered today with 130 stud pattern to suit the Fuchs, 4.5x17 narrowed on the front 17x7 on the back all derailed and real nice
The rest of the airbag system order too, using a slam valve self levelling system, cleaned out the bank and the build is starting to ad up but I'm pumped to get all the bits needed and hook in, really hoping to have it finished for old bar this year
