[QUOTE="ENKssen, post: 628989, member: 32145"] After spending last christmas removing the old paint, 5 litres of paint stripper later the bus looked like this. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ObIUjIK.jpg[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/nPHhfpa.jpg[/img] I knew at this point there was going to be much more restoration work needed that I had originally anticipated. The rear corners were full of fiberglass filler, the front panel was beginning show signs of cracking and managed to poke a few holes through here and there. Not a great start. After how long it took to strip back the outside I decided that I would get the underside soda blasted. It had been covered with a thick undersealing paint and although the underside looked pretty solid I knew it would need some welding doing and so blasting was really the only option. Here is the underside prior to blasting. [img]https://i.imgur.com/WPyjsdT.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
