Can do dood, but i dont like the thought of them going through there with a chance of wearing etc. When the bus is on the floor they are well away from the plates so no probs. 8)
 
New heater pipe welded in and new floor pans welded on, sealed and protected. 8)

Looks like new under the bus now 8)

Just a few last bits to do.

Accelerator pedal a bit laggy so needs adjustment.
Connect up heater cables to new controls.
Fix fuel gauge.
New Rocker covers to go on.

Cruise the fuck out of it ;)
 
looks damn good under there - job satisfaction - time to get out and roll them wheels 8)
 
Well chuffed for you :msn4:

Nice job on the floor pans - probably looks better than new now :D
 
Looking mighty fine easy :) But couldn't help posting a pic of the underside of my bus (seeing as you threw down the gauntlet :D)
