Great work. Good to see you getting closer to Mot day

Nice, can't wait to see this bus in the flesh

Cheers for positive comments 8) will be a cool ride when its done, hopefully cooler than its lookalike the T2D TV Bus haha,, :lol: :lol:

Nearly finished getting the floor solid, looking at it makes me think I should have gone for a full cargo floor but at the end of the day although it looks a bit patchwork, its solid as a rock now and when painted the got the interior covering it will go unseen but il have my own piece of mind knowing its got no rot,
I know that some repair panels aren't as good quality/thickness as the og steel so probably best doing it this way plus it only costs £29 for a bit of panel compaired to about £200 for full floor!! :shock:

Just got front steps and bottom of 'A' posts then hopefully taking it for MOT back end of next week!

Was checking out your tubs yesterday at SlamWerks, thinking I need some to get it down proper

 

[Barkafer]

Nice work! I had similar rust in my cargo floor, but regrettably didn't patch with repro floor panel. I just used what I could lay hands on at the time.

My lowlight ghia from california is a bit like that on the floors, loads of flat sheet steel!! its like rolf harris is playing a tune when you get in and out!
If it gets you an MOT though and your on a budget might as well make it solid

[Rich-B]

MOT is booked for 4.30pm on tuesday now as the test centre was packed today!! :?

Been fitting some more new seals today though and also made a start on painting the interior skin before the re-trim, need to buy a front mat set, not sure what style to go for yet though, might have a look on madmatz site as I saw they had a good selection at dubfreeze

got bumpers fitted too, looking proper sick now, will look even cooler when its wound down a touch more on the front 8)

Il update tomorrow night after its test

awesome 8)

Nice. What paint did you use on the cargo floor?

 

[Rich-B]

Cheers, on the cargo floor I just mixed up some White 2 PAC with hardener but brushed it on so it's pretty thick but will protect the floor, its going to be covered with ply then flooring anyway so dint matter what colour but this was laying around the workshop, I think il do the cab floor and seat tubs in this too as it gives it a clean interior finish which is what I'm after, it's not L90D though it's a bit whiter!

A nice bus, just such a shame to do that to it (just my opinion)
