That is a job I've been putting off for ages. I'm kinda glad looking at your garage though. Lol
Can't wait to see the finished product.

 

[creationblue]

10 hours worth yesterday :lol:

I dont want to see another bloody rivet!!!!!!!!!! As you can see it was dark when i finished and i managed to drill my finger!

Lid needs a tweek today and need to fix the spare wheel bracket 8)

 

[dubscum]

[Myvanway]

Great job on the trailer 8)

Trailers looking good, didn't take you long! When you getting the bus back?

 

[creationblue]

Today I have mainly been fooked :lol: But I did a shift for the greater cause and finished the trailer Well I say finished but some **** rivited the lid from the top when It should have been from the bottom, so i will be rectifying that this week :msn4:

Some proof pics

If I had more time I would have had the frame powder coated, but hey not bad for the time I did it in.

Next up was to collect the bus.............colour match is better that I could have hoped 8)

Just the door was painted

Then the roof, and the gutters were blasted

I **** out on refitting the doors, and got Spence to do the work to save me time, he said the shiny scappers I picked up from C7C at Dub Freeze were ***** and a ***** to fit :lol: glad I didnt do it after all, they look fine to me fitted, thats the main thing!

So now I need to get some door trims and make some speaker pods, as the doors have different bracing on the inside its now impossible to have door mounted speakers in the same place :? But ast least the doors will outlast me 8)
