rusty old nail to sow's ear

It isn't like the rest of bus was rust free George. :lol:

Managed to make a start today.
The holes have got slightly larger. :lol:

A rain shower meant that I only managed to get one side plated, as I don't think the welder is water resistant, and a coat of rust converter on.
Hopefully get the other side done tomorrow if the weather stays dry.

Bit more done, unfortunately the tank platform metal is like tissue paper.

Still need to repair the section below the tank where it meets the engine compartment side plate.

I seem to have lost a bit of enthusiasm this weekend, so all I did this morning was clean up under the tank platform and spray a bit of primer on.

And put a couple of coats on the alternator tin, although it was a bit cold for painting if the truth be told....

Guessing the stroker will be going in after this bit of metal work? Come on Si, stick at it!!!

You gotta get it fitted and run in, big motors are the theme for Ninove 2014

 

[sparkywig]

Got something else to do now......

What's the plan si? Roof and be watertight or carry on with the engine first?

 

[sparkywig]

Could all run concurrently Shaun. :roll:
Going to gut the interior as well to get the roof done.

 

[sparkywig]

Might as well do these as well.

Definately going for it then :lol: with how fast you get on with it, you'll still have it all done before I've got my engine in :roll: :lol:
