Well the long drawn out harvest is finished mid January, holidays have been had on the Gold Coast at main beach pretending I’m rich and famous with Tedder Ave only a couple of footy kicks away trying not to get harassed by old lady looking for a new toy boy with a hairy chest
Anyway happy to be back on the bus
Dry fit of the rear bumper
Still need to play with patina match and make up some new bolts for the bars
Plus hung the engine lid as well
Starting to come together now

Like what you did with the bumper, the welded up holes are perfect as they are

Yep. Rear end looks schmick. Time to move on to the next thing on your list or this’ll blow out to become yet another ten year plus project on DSK.

Actually I can’t see anything wrong with what Chessboard writes other than it should be 11 instead of 10

Be a shame to put noise deadener and door cards over that patina.

Mmmm short spoons. Two more? Are you not running them on the rearmost windows? Didn’t all busses have rear pop outs?
