Just lately we have been quite busy on the bus. Im trying to get it winter proof.

Ive cut the drivers side outer sill off to weld a new one in. Hopefully have that done in the morning.

How its sitting now.

Also my and my buddy Tim have been working on the inside. As tim is a boat builder he had some very nice cabin sole laying around. Its £300 a sheet so i could only really afford using 1 sheet lol.
