Spring Valley Bus meets Corvair

[creationblue]

Got up nice and early (kids :? ) time to get the bling on 8)

Started off by taping a line around roughly where the trim will go, then taped it into place making sure sure everything lined up

Once i was happy everything lined up i then drew a line under the trim all the was round, then marked out the fixing centres.

Next i measured up 12mm from the line i drew being the bottom of the trim to get the centres, checked i was happy again with the fit then drilled a pilot starting with the cab door and worked to the corner using a spray of waxoly with each hole i cut

I did a piece at a time but left the corners and the hatch trim till last. The corners were suprisingly easy fitting a treat without any fuss, i then made sure the rear hatch section was level and lined up with the corners then voila 8)

The trim isnt perfectly straight with a few dings and bends, but suits perfectly the look of the bus, in my oppinion anyway :lol:

I have to say i really enjoyed this job and im well pleased with the look then went out for a drive with the kids & mrs whilst the sun was shining 8)

The beach is great, trouble is the water is terrible and deffo not advisable to swim!!!!! But it does only take an hour door to door (thats an hour EB time :lol: )

The Safari has gone to a good home in the form of Faux...............I fancied a change

Got the Rostyles back today, they have come up a treat and are supprisingly straight, bonus! Where they are welded there is a join that harbors dirt that blows the powdercoating, but im sure i can cover that with the Matt Black detail 8)

Red9 gear turned up also, not sure im gonna get it all done before Vanwest, the instructions for the rear spring plates sound very complicated, and dangerous :lol: any tips welcome.....
