Looks like this was a Canterbury Pitt - dent above the spare wheel well gives it away ;) !!

Would have had a full length shelf across that - hence the dent being straight across.

Good spot, I didn't even notice that.
Have a look in the Canteebury Pitt section on here or my thread in Rides and Projects and that will show you what the interior would have looked like.
It's quite unusual for a Pitt to have a solid roof.
Your interior re-trim looks very well done, love the style of those cushions - good choice dude.

Cheers, Lee.

Bloody buses, none for ages then two tin-tops turn up at the same time :lol:
Get yourself on to the Canterbury Pitt faceache group :)

So after spraying up all the tin I set to putting it all back together.
When I get to fitting the belt back on I realised it was hugely slack. Even after adjusting it all I couldn't get it tight and was slipping

Loads of play in it

Ordered a new belt
There was quite a bit of difference between them , I'm assuming the old one was incorrect or stretched
