I do expect some serious action shots when it's finished...and I think you know what i mean when I say "serious" = lots of dust or tyre smoke

preferably both.

Semaphores on both sides look in good nic,

I have decided to go my split from beam so will probably sell my 68 front beam at some stage.

On the left side of the dash it has written on a made tag

ARDELL Vol. BGD

Not sure what it was used for. It does have a couple of old skool SES stickers.

I have seen a couple mounted under the car, but I want to try and get this bus pretty low.

I am thinking inside the engine compartment near the vents and fit thermo fans.

But open to suggestions.

My concern with that setup is how easily the hot air would get back out again.

Just got in from a day at the bus.

Got a bit done, not as much as would of liked to of. But every step is a step closer.

My mate has taken his Buggy out to put a new floor in. So we started pullin that apart.

Here is a couple of pics, not sure if anyone is into them on here...

Not much to em

Anyway back to the Bus.

Spent a fair bit of time trying to get shape back around the drivers headlight and the drivers door. It needed bending etc to get it to close properly. It is now a perfect fit.

It has taken a fair smack at some stage to this area.

The front light still has a scar around the side. But chicks dig scars!!

Side cargo door cleaned up.

Pulled the front bumper out and we straightened it up.

Welded in the side brackets.

Lined it all up and she is on.

ZP, you have worked wonders on that Split.
No chance of it seeing Old Bar this year, is there?
