58 mingo mango

Jesus that’s a lot of nothing on that passenger side. It’s like a very dirty jigsaw, looking good mate.

Another piece of the puzzle
Was pretty pumped to score this middle seat in correct trim for the mango

dude, that's a big score well done!!

[splitthis]

And it’s bloody comfy too.

[Zimblewinder]

wow! where was that hiding? Dont have a caramel long panel there too do they?

[D-Train]

What an epic score!! Well done brad!

I've know about this seat for 2 yrs but wasn't forsale but up for trade for the correct seat for his bus
As u could imagine finding the correct middle seat for the trade was going to be a challenge let alone any middle seat
Eventually he did find someone who had the correct middle seat and trade was done and this Carmel seat was surplus to his needs lucky for me and that where I stepped in
I didn't get it for a bargain but I was happy with the price given the crazy split bus / middle seat environment we live in and the Carmel trim in pretty much mint condition is a huge huge bonus

Now that just leaves with a og paint drivers door to go on the treasure hunt ........ Stay tuned

That seat is awesome and will be perfect for your bus Brad

[braddick]

Back doing a bit on the bus with harvest finished and back from holidays for a few days
Nothing exciting but taking tiny steps
A and b pillar connected all cut out
Upper a pillar repairs underway

[splitthis]

That’s a really tricky spot to work on. Keep up the good work mate.

I was just looking at the Wiz’s latest crazy project again. You should check with him if any of that section is usable from the SC roof he cut off. Pretty sure there is no repro sections so you’ll either have to fab or find OG.

[braddick]

Is this the piece u talking about matt

Welded and ground down plus a lick of paint

At this stage the repair section looks like it might need a slice and dice to help it fit unsure at this stage if it the repair piece or the bus is out whack from the roll over
Thinking I might in list the help of my mate to help get all these pieces married together since he's done 2 of these repairs minus the complete b pillar repair

[splitthis]

That’s the one. Is that a Champ panel? I know he has made them before. Looking good.

[braddick]

Nan it's a BBT one from the same blokes that are making the roofs now, but yep champ has made a couple of them one for his bus and the other for joes bus
Here you can see what I mean by been a bit out

I think this confirms my repair piece needs cut and shut, I shouldn't be surprised but still a long way in front from making a new one from scratch

If only it was this easy
The b pillars looks pretty dam good mind u I haven't hung the doors yet

[vanell]

Gee that top piece is a long way off, I wouldn’t trust it to be the right length also, why don’t you try to fit the front door and b pillar and cargo doors before you fit the over door piece, looks like you have to cut and shut it anyway. The A pillar may need to be jacked up a bit too as you do it because it’s holding up the whole weight of the roof at the moment. I’ve got a great original passenger door if you want to borrow it for setting the gaps. Ian
