And a few pretty cool parts arriving at Champs workshop thanks to his contacts in Germany…so stoked to have such awesome people helping me with this bus, really grateful for all the help and advice I’ve received from everyone so far as I’m sure I’ll need plenty more as it progresses!!

shit tonne of progress mate, keep the updates coming.

Just so you know, your bus wouldn’t have had seat clamps on the two inner legs of the middle seat. It should however have plates welded to the floor where the legs sit. I think there’s a couple of pics on my looooong slow build.

Big thanks to Coop for helping me out with a donor heater tube Y Piece, needed a bit of extra love to get it in but I feel like nothing's too hard for Anthony to work out!
