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

[kombi niko]

that rubber frame job is the worst

[braddick]

Back into this bus now after finishing harvest
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

Making progress
Outriggers, centre cross members ( I think that's what there called),centre heater pipe and all other pipes on they way out
Cheers

Plus a pick of my sexy roof for splitthis, enjoy mat

[red hot bus]

Where did the big hole go? Looks good brad looking forward to more updates

[splitthis]

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.

[braddick]

Got a few hours in on the bus this arvo
Decided to have a go at removing the long sill
Starting to wonder about the cargo floor been saved, how many patches are to many patches

[vanell]

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

[braddick]

A few more hours on the bus today
Removed the short sill/rocker, leaving the b and c pillar attached to the floor for strength for transporting it to the blaster
Thinking new floor now

Also my dogleg patch repair has turned into complete lower dogleg repair at this stage

[MID WEST DUBBER]

Awesome updates mate

[D-Train]

Get into it brad!!!

[braddick]

Passenger side front floor tomorrow hopefully
Cheers
