Agree Matt.

Maybe Beats’ missus got to the bank statement first before he was able to intercept the mail and the cheque book got torched.

Relax mate, this stuff takes time when you’re doing it all yourself at home…..oh wait. Maybe the cheque book ran out of pages? :lol: I love you Beatts, just redirecting the attention :oops:
Matt. You have the immunity idol until August.

I fucking love you guys! Thanks for caring about my financial well-being 😘

Been real busy trying to top up the bucket that the cheque book keeps emptying.

I have updates and will get some photos up next week all going well.

All the exterior pre paint finishing done now, picking up a great man’s rotisserie this Friday (thanks Wiz) so the underside can be prepped, and seam sealed ready for paint. Then some interior prep and bring out the crayons for some colour after that.

Standby.

Looking good Beatts. Do you know what the yellow spray after seam sealer is?

It’s just the shit light, I took the photo while applying the seam sealer. Also that compressed air seam sealer gun was a prick to use, could have done a neater job with a normal hand operated silicone gun.

OK double checked and it’s etch primer that was sprayed on the bare metal before I got there to do the seam sealing.

Thanks. Decided to go with a finish that’s not super shiny. Just had the rest of the underside painted today, will post up pics next. Same deal with a finish between satin and shiny. Looks like it’s acrylic not two pack.

Wow, mint fresh !!
Would be pleasure working on a clean bus not covered in years of crud.

This isn't going to end up in Splitty museum is it - trailer queen style ?? :D
