Looking good Brad.
Nice story too about the round about way the bumpers & bits made there way to you- that's what it's all about.

Re: 58 mingo mango
Well as most of you know I took a couple of months of the mango to give my 63 a new look but I've still been spending money and collecting stuff for the mango
Bought some stuff of Gordon when he had a moving sale on, belly pans, inner window pressing and a new roof bow
Also picked up the a and b pillar connected for above the passenger door of b&m classics So I guess this confirms I going to be putting a rag in the mango to fix the roof which will please some people on here
I was going to save some money and not do a rag and put that coin towards a crazy motor, now I've decided f##k it lets do both it just might take me a bit longer to achieve both

Also scored this rear seat of a mate
Not correct for a mango bus but it's a start and is in pretty good condition-

Re: 58 mingo mango
Well this artic weather has blown me back into the shed
Haven't touched the mango in over 6 months .....slack I know but sometimes life and work get in the way
Anyway it was nice to get the fire going and crank up the welder again
Thought I'd have a crack at a roof repair

For a second I thought I was looking at a skylight and almost fell off my chair!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who gets distracted. Good to see some progress.

Re: 58 mingo mango
Trying my hand at a bit of old school agricultural panel beating
Ended up getting it back pretty good for a bus that has been rolled on all 3 sides
Ended up using a longer bit of steel but forgot to take a pic but u get the idea

Excellent use of the Farmers Porta Power, and progress is great, great work mate and you might just save that roof after all, see you at Volksfest. Ian
