Quick update..

Spraying the inside is now done, following the same line as outside - lower half beryl green and top half pastel white.

The outside body is finished bar the doors, flattening with 1500 grade and polishing..

The interior has been started, hopefully I'll will have some photos soon, but I have sorted out the faucet pump - the chrome was badly pitted and being nickel cast it melts if you acid dip it, so one damn good polish later...

The head lining has been made up in Baltic Birch and is ready to fit as are the side panels, door cards and front kick panels - all in Baltic Birch - going over to see them next week, hopefully get some photo's then..

Sorry Steve, you've lost me - what piece are you talking about ?

 

[67 BAY]

Rubbish on computers so i've done the easy way for me

The black one is the piece you need to check,yours doesn't look like it as the extra extention on,it could be just be the way it's laid for photo.Hope i'm wrong but better to find out now rather than when the engines in.

 

[tintintin]

Cheers Steve,

I guess it's the way I laid it out, all the tinware was original when it came off the bus before we worked on it. That's not to say it'll go back as easily as it came apart though!

Thanks alot,

Just been over to see it today while it's outside - Joe's been at the 1500 grade and polish ! They have done a superb job on the paint, it's dead flat and without a blemish - I'm well, well chuffed

A day or so to put it back together and Job's a good'un!
