My New Ongoing Project

This was my bus when i started

Then after a bit of cleaning i ended up with this




Some tit butchered a hole in the floor for the sink

So the welder came out to patch the floor ( don't laugh at my welding this was the first time i'd tried it on a vehicle )



Eventually some primer then paint

looking great , lush colour

Cheers mate, when the orange was going in i though shit what have i done but it looks ace, the whole bus will be redone in this hopefully

Some paint on the floor at last



Then carpet



New bed base



New homemade vinyl panels

Retrimmed seat etc

Yeah it is to be honest, the battery tray is shot and that's gone thrugh to the lower arch and there are a few pin holes in the front steps, all the outriggers, jacking points, sills etc are solid, this is the first welding it's had

looks ace, and youve got the same hoover as me
