Tidy looking bus you got there, now to enjoy it

Hard to tell in the pics (on moby) have you done a roof swap?

 

[lowbay1]

thanks all
yes i did a roof swap, when i got the bus the roof was rotten and it leaked like well lets just say it was not worth having a roof on it, the bus was full of filler which was hiding all sorts, i got as much filler out and straightened up the body as best as i could, as her who must be obeyed was losing the will to live with not having the bus on the road,
it was three days of hell with the roof, the first day was all about the tape measure, mark it measure it, fuck its 4mm out start again and so on, then comes the bit i was dreading the cutting, well if i get it wrong now i didnt want to think about that, once the roof was off it was down to welding in the strengthing plates and then top welding,
its not something i want to do again in a hurry, anyway here is a couple of more pics with the roof cut etchttp://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/j325/lowbay1/morebusroof002.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
