Hi!

Oh! That's a big lump of bondo! That's probably 1 BHP worth of weight loss - knock some more of that shit off!

Keep up the good work!

Cheers,

Nice job with the rear corner dude.
I really should do mine as its nearly all filler

Did you have to sand a lot back? I can't tell from the pics?
I'm thinking I may need to get a wire wheel on mine.:/

 

[dubscum]

i wanted to keep as much og paint as possible, I looked in the engine bay and knocked the 2inch deep dint out with a lump hammer, then any filler left i tore fine sand paper into inch squares and sanded it till it was really thin, then brillo pads soaked in paint thinners. It was horrible :lol:

Thanks you peeps
After a lot of thinking I decided to raise my bus to the highest setting. Where me and arch go to
The Bmx track there's staggered speed bumps and it beaches my bus front and back

For the record I hate it this high and would rather not own it at this hight (it's low again now) but even worse on a test run it tried to kill us after a 3 point turn. More steering lock not aways a good thing

I know it might not seem like it but it's the build i love. Ive been to Ninove with the boys and toured Cornwall with my family. I've taken this bus as far as I can and want to build another one, other then the shell its all new or rebuilt: for sale
