Here is a few updated photos, spent another couple of days cutting and making some panels up.

Been slack over the Xmas break. Going to get stuck into it again early new year.

Have now fully cut the sills out and cleaned the floor up with the steel wheel.

The more you cut the more brown you find.

There is almost more rust than car!!

There is good scenary, it used to be very quiet place until we started up the grinders.

I'm heading out friday to hook into somemore.

That is FRIGHTENING!
All power to you for doing it.
Are you going to go completely standard or will you re-design the chassis to fit a Subie motor or the like?
I'd find it very tempting.

Thanks, I am considering doing the subaru conversion and have been making some enquiries.

Still not sure which way to go at this stage. Off tomorrow morning to get stuck in, will hopefully make some good progress.

Spent the afternoon out at the shed last week.

Not sure if mentioned but I did a trip to Toowoomba and picked up front/rear 68 gear.

Cleaned it up and we got some welding done. Cleaned up the interior with a wire brush.

Some more welding...

The bus has taken a smack on the right front, we have bashed it out as much as we can without cutting it. I think it adds character.

More work to be done on the tops of these doors next.
