Hi Nicko, by the time I replaced the front panel, doors, long side, and sandblasted around the windows again there wasn't much paint left, anyway I have never liked the Ratlook, to me it just says 'I'm too lazy to fix the rust'. To me there's only 2 styles, Shiny Bus or Well used an abused but no rust showing, an of course they have to be lowered, I had a standard height bus, worst day of my life!

Hey nice one Ian
Much better to be standing up welding instead of lying on your back
