I can't wait for my next 52panelvan resto fix...
Well done Mark
So I'm guessing this bus was buried in some sort of mud slide??

I was quite happily driving along the Eastbound M4 yesterday afternoon when I saw this bus heading in the other direction on a trailer. I nearly crashed!

The back floor panel to engine bay is not good and also the rear wheel tubs are bad espesially on the pass side but on the plus side the back corners and engine lid do look like they will straighten ok - hopefully.
Have you see this new panel from Gerson...
