Well, that worked.
And the nearside came off even quicker.
Lots of Colorado sand/soil to go with the rat shit.
"New" euro dash sourced from Belgium placed in situ. Very pleased with that purchase, just need to find a matching engine lid now.

Yes, not too keen on the US/Canadian padded dashes.
You got the brake hub off ! [emoji3] Is that a bigger puller ?

No, same size puller Mike. Just used a wheel spacer to lessen the diameter so the legs didn't pop off.

Another small job accomplished today.
The sliding door has never actually slid or shut fully, so 20 minutes work replacing the guide block and easing the roller was successful.
Used some trf to remove a couple of WD40 drips from the panel below the sliding door rail. Can't wait to get the mop and polish going.

Managed to spend most of today at the lockup.
First job, remove remainder of trim panels and clean all the panels and cant rails of the last of the rat shit.
Fuck knows why this was done, especially with a tin opener.
And onto the roof. I called into a sports shop for a football on the way this morning, and the look on the assistant's face when I replied to his question of what football did I want was classic.
"Don't care mate, it's to push some dents out of a roof"
After a few hours work
Got this far, which is the limit of my skillset, need to get some advice from a professional on how to proceed now.
Really pleased with today's efforts, would be nice to get it slightly straighter if I can though.

Roof looks 100 times better but am I missing something?
I thought there are an inner and outer roof panel so how did you manage it?

Roof looks great, for some reason all roofs seem to have some dents in. Mine has a few but not noticeable unless you're 6'6".
You can get a bodyshop to remove small dents with metal rods that they manipulate down small gaps if necessary. Not sure what the technique is called but it looks like it works. You can buy the tools yourself if you fancy learning a new skill.

No, that's how the roof is constructed, Mike.
It's a single skin with cross bracing attached to the gutter and cant rails with multiple spot welds.

As the bus is going to be low and the roof visible I wanted to reduce the large dents and creases.
I have some of the dent rods, but they're not any use with the roof.

Ah I see. I thought they were all the same with double skin roofs.
