Yes Steve more pics please!

Progress - steady tho pics are a little haphazard in the update. The body work is not by me, but one of the few remaining that could call themselves a coach builder. Mark has had a hand in many a concourse winner.

Looking real good, I'd be happy if my 21 build was moving as fast as yours

You need more hands to count the years by fingers, I rekon

Hands and feet and you still might be short. Can't rush quality though

No doubt, this will be a stunner

What a special bus, very nice!

some more pics of work done - kept the centre section of the front floor - grafted in parts of a NOS (yes, sadly) floor for R & L section repair.
Loom out so I will be either buying a repro - or repairing the original, which was not too bad!
A tip - remove the loom from the rear!

oops, the pics!

beginning to look like a bus- at least front cab area! Was the best area of the bus, the rear floor section will require more work. Plan is to remove the floor, leave the belly pans as they are in great nick. The L sill will need replacing, but hopefully the R side, which looks great will prove to be so.

what do you do when you notice the repro pressing looks nothing like the original - notice how the circular depressions all of different depths also join up to allow any water that collects to flow to the central hole- well if your original is salvageable then graft it in to the repro

whilst waiting for body work I have been busy - aero papyrus seat covers from Corey Bloom, sewn by Matt Miller.
Pop outs completed, sunroof mechanism cleaned, painted with tension strap test fitted to the mechanism on the bus. I used the material used for vertical blinds - strong, does not stretch and tolerates sun exposure - tho this should not be necessary.
