Well late last year a plan was hatch to get a new roof for the bus and one came up on the market, as sunroof roof.
After a light blast we are left with...,
Front air vent
Air box
Above cargo doors
Front roof section above air box
Centre main area above air box (holes are in an area of one square foot)
Gutters
Plus dents above each support section/samba window and all four corners dented and a few others dents here and there in the roof.
Not a great start to 2016 but we shall plod on.....

Thanks, we are coming to the end of welding now, not much more to do and it's finished.
