Cheers Ben, Love Ryo's bus! Not much progress yet, waiting for space in Martin's workshop. Hopefully not much longer and I can move it up there for work to begin

Seems the other Barndoor next to mine in the old pic never made it out of the yard, was supposedly cut up along with all other busses there,except mine.
Hoping to find out more soon, and should have some more old pics from the former owner in NZ too hopefully.

Well this morning i got up bright and early to get the bus moved from its temporary home of my dads garage and get it over to Martin's workshop for work to commence.
Mine and Martin's 54's together
Mine is now tucked up into its spot in the workshop ready for work to commence today on the cargo doors. Parked up next to Martin's 51.

Martin has begun work, starting with the cargo doors.
Slight adaptation to the funky green needed but seems pretty good...
Spot welders make things a lot quicker and neater.....
Lots more work to do on this door but it's not looking too bad so far, gaps are even good, needs some adjusting and further metal work but pleased with how it's going
Finally 3 barndoors tucked up for the night

Coming along nicely thanks to Martin
