Re: 58 mingo mango
Back working on the bus now the silly season of farming has finished and the school holidays are coming to a end
Finished die grinding the welds to the tubs a job I’ve been putting off
And making a start on modifying my seat base which turned out to be pretty rusty so didn’t feel bad about chopping it up. Lucky to find a old ironing board frame that was the correct size pipe and with a few bends in it to help with going over the tubs

Re: 58 mingo mango
Tonight’s progress
Welded new tabs and spikes on seat base
And repairs and mods of seat springs to fit new shape of base, even managed to weld up a broken spring

Re: 58 mingo mango
Well I thought since I was on a roll I might well keep going
Moved onto the backrest part of the seat Now I thought this one was in better nick, but on closer inspection it is actually worst and requires more of a rebuild than the base section
