Also removed the fuel tank and was pretty happy with what it looked like on the inside from the small amount u could see down the filler neck
Also cleaned up door top and removed all the 60 yr old dried out window rubbers, boy did that top rubber that seals the door top to the bus take some removing

Plan is to get it blasted underneath and inside cargo floor and front floor and into primer before winter sets in
No sign of winter today got to 44 c today and abandoned the shed at lunch time

Good work mate, gotta keep at it, you know you could even paint underneath and install running gear, wiring , brakes etc while you're waiting on OG paint doors to turn up, door gaps are always better to do when there on wheels. Gotta do something on it each day. Ian

Roof’s fucked, sunroof or nothing. Why don’t you take an honest pic of that shitstorm. Maybe one with a light inside the bus to show all the “character” (I think you mean rust) holes.
Bus is looking good, keep it up.

New floor mate, then you can weld that long side repair on first and tap it straight, the other sill needs doing too, so much easier to put the floor in last. Keep cutting mate. Ian

Thinking new floor now Also my dogleg patch repair has turned into complete lower dogleg repair at this stage
