That looks real solid, just needs a new front, front floor , bulkhead, doglegs, cargo floor, roof repair , outriggers, cargo door repairs, lower A, B and C pillars, battery tray, lower rear corners, an a parcel tray, how's the engine lid look?

lmfao ... needs the go to a sand blaster... then see whats left over

I’ll take u to the sandblaster! Spook. Haha

[D-Train]

Got a spare moment so picked up the tray and a spare for sections.
Doesn’t look the best, but I have plans.








It’s still paper thin so welding will be a headache not to blow holes! Still need to cut and splice some more sections into it to remove the worst places.

[D-Train]

Had a spare second, Made the extra piece and welded it all together.
Just needs a grind back and check how well I can’t weld!

[Ged]

Nothing wrong with that.

Good job

[McDub]

Yep liking that too as I can't weld for shit

[D-Train]

Thanks guys, let’s just say I penetrated it well.. hahahahah

[bulliboy]

genious , waste not,,,

[kombibob]

Love it!

[D-Train]

And done! It’s not pretty or perfect, but it’s solidish again and will do the job.
It will be covered also so it won’t be seen much.

[Wassa]

Well done mate ....por 15 over the lot , it will full the small stuff , sand and it will amazing .... another bit saved

[D-Train]

No por15, I’m looking at another product to coat it in, but it will have a soft green covering like from the factory. So the pin holes and other discrepancy’s won’t be seen anyway.

Love seeing the rusty stuff get saved,Good work Dion.

Perfect for a ratty bus

[D-Train]

After many years, finally in a house with a shed, so now reunited with the bus at home. Off the rotisserie and back on wheels. The doors have come back into alignment more so that’s a win.
Shed pics.



Got started on the bulkhead, that will be 1st then get into the rest.
Had to cut off the remaining sides from it. Sucks tho because boronia Brown is a rare colour here. The car was long gone.



Trial fit.



Started to clean off the old paint and red oxide it for now. Needs to be cut to suit then welded in. There’s sections that need more love than others, but it’s in good shape.




The old bulkhead will be utilised to fix whatever needs it on the new one. It will also be painted to suit the bus. Much xcite with the small progress.
