I finished both of the A pillar bottoms this week. I had to make an additional section above the repair sections I bought as they weren’t quite tall enough. Both look much better now: I’ve also made a start on repairing the panel which joins the inner valance to the cab floor. This panel as […]
I finished repairing the main section of the A pillar this weekend. I had to remove a bit more of the driver front arch, turns out it was mainly made of filler! Driver’s side A pillar welded up: All welds dressed, and coated with a lick of paint before I weld the front piece on […]
Chopped out the bottom of the N/S A pillar tonight and welded in a new section. Chilly down the workshop tonight though!
I finished up the welding on the inner windscreen panel last week: The dashboard mounts from the old panel were in good condition so I just welded them to the new panel and trial fitted the dashboard: Off with the old deformation panel next so I can start repairing the A pillars and replace the […]
Managed to trial fit the outer skin tonight as I wasn’t convinced the inner was in the right position (it was!). Lots to finish before it goes on though.
Inner windscreen tacked in today. Looking better already. I’ll finish welding it in tomorrow.
This week seems to have rocketed past but I’ve made some good progress. Before I start taking apart the lower section of the front end (Deformation panel and inner valance) I wanted to get some strength back into the top section by replacing the inner windscreen panel. With it chopped out the front end looks […]
Start of a new year and start of the next chunk of work on the bus. Front clip cut off so I can start repairing what lies beneath. I’ve got this week off to try and get a jog on.
I’ve been burning the midnight oil over the last couple of nights getting the last few bits of the chassis complete as I really wanted to get it done this year so I could take two weeks off over christmas (the first time for probably 12 months). I didn’t manage to get many pictures of […]
A bit further tonight. Welds on outer sill dressed and coated. Mostly welded in the final closing piece for the C pillar.
