Then off to have the IRS fitted and front beam in for a test fit.
Probably should have put the wheels on and checked door gaps also but have taken a gamble given the weight distribution shouldn’t be any different on the trolley frame. After all they bolt onto the same part of the body rite!

Now at the paint shop for final prep before EP primer and then colour. Roof first

Shiny bus so trying to get it pretty good. When I look at the bank balance I do question my decision to not go the rat look.

As a wise Wizard once said, when your driving down the road with the safaris open you won’t be thinking about what was spent.

Yeah I’ve got a stash, just need a few more hours in the day. Will try to get some updates up before Easter.

It’s all epoxy primed and filler work has begun.

Sure is Morts I’m not stuffing around while I have a green light from the home boss to get it finished.

And yes there’s money leaving my wallet quicker than a pissed bloke surrounded by strippers.
