I had my quota of bus time when I went away. Back to work for me!

Has anyone ever actually seen Big Dave and Matt’s resto buses in the flesh?

Potentially two more urban myths a friend was telling me.

shit, I’ve been busted!

Here you go then
Ive been checking out the near side sil and doors, chopped out some crap to see what needs doing
The original outer sil might be reusable with a bit of patching of the chanel.
Doors will just get some patching inside, outers still have some life in them
I’m just going to replace the ends of the floor beams and patch up the floor, new out riggers and no need for the jacking points

The fact you can reach the bus is a good start! I’m sure we can find a body cut with a sem pocket if it needs to be replaced, doesn’t look like too much OG paint in that area anyway.

That’s what I’m talking about progress, great to see
I’ve got some floor cuts, top hats and maybe I beam cuts as well, hell I think I’ve even got a semaphore section as well
Really good see progress Dave

It all starts with baby steps Dave - keep at it!

Thats is, got to get some traction and keep chipping away. Just cleaning back the problem areas to work out what I need. Cheers Brad, Wiz also said he may have some bits and I have a couple of bits of floor, but probably not enough.

I’ve got a length of floor somewhere. Happy to donate it in exchange for a non-SA beer, preferably cold.
