Well guys, after some initial work on the bus after it arrived, I didn't touch it for 3 months or so. Then with doing 72 hours a week at work, time was in short supply so, I've been doing what I can, when I can. Some of you will have seen on Facebook anyway but, this is where I'm at

I started to remove the crappy white paint job, then got bored lol. It's not really needed to get it on the road!!





Then on to the welding, in no chronological order.



































On to the lower windscreen









A few other bits too




















































It didn't come with a motor, so I built a new one

All is need now is, insurance, MOT and register
