After a few years of being used for storage, I have the bus cleaned out and ready for some work to begin.

6 years after completing year 12 at school, I have finally had a chance to fit the lower parts of the rotisserie that I made..

Happy to say that everything lined up perfectly...

I haven’t finished assembly the full hoops on the rotisserie yet so haven’t trialled putting it on an angle at this stage.

I am going to weld a heap of braces inside the bus next the replace the roof and repair the gutters, once this is done and the top half of the bus is solid I will finish assembling the hoops which bolt together

That's next in my list, more for the C pillar, rather than the roof.

Continuing with the bracing today, this should keep everything square. One more section at the rear hatch and then I am ready to make a start on removing the roof

I need to repair a heap of gutter, the air box needs some repair and the roof skin and rear strengthening bow is bent because the previous owners decided to jump on the roof :roll:

I have one of the new silver weld through primer roof skins. Going to be a big job but I want to get this sorted first

I think that was mentioned prior wasn’t it? Sunroof? Or full time top?
