that looks nasty :shock:

bit of gaffa tape and it will be all good :lol:

 

[Mark6455]

Haha that's what caused it I think


Didn't realise how expensive repair panels are :shock:

Get yourself a funky green repair "bulge panel" and you can replace sections easily. They are about £125. I got mine from a guy in Somerset, but I think C & C now stock them. Don't get any other makes they are very poor quality...

I've got the klassic fab repair panel it's just the inner panel I need to sort out
Can it be patched

 

[Mark6455]

Bit of an update
I popped down to see how my mate was getting on with the repairs
He decided not to use the heratige inner repair panels as they were the wrong shape? So he made up his own he then tacked the screen repair panel in to gauge the fit



Just needs to dress the edges in

Rear valance has been replaces as it was shot
From this


To this





I did really want to keep the mottled paint work on the front panel but he's convinced me to let him do the whole front panel as it's got too many scabs for his liking



More to come

Have you checked behind the bottom edge of the front panel?
Water that goes in, must come out.

Great work Mark.

Looks like a good job. When I took mine out there was 1/4" of filler over aluminium tape to cover the rot, wouldn't have known if I hadn't of taken a wire wheel on the grinder to it.

I used the Schofield's repair panel, he makes his own.

Hi yes he did it has had a previous lower front panel and luckily they had left a gap so the water hasnt pooled in the front too much.
were gonna check it more closely and take it from there

Hi Foz

Dont get me wrong, I do love to see a patina bus in all its glory, but your bus with a shiney full respray would just look awesome mate!!
My opinion of course, there's a few patina high tops floating about, how nice to be a little bit different
