Thats our job making sure we keep pushing you to the end of this project :lol:

Thanks for the pic'y update

Well dude the bus is looking good and coming on nicely

Well done that man

Bet it felt great popping that side panel on and seeing the bus looking so good .........

Measuring sh*t all the time really gets on my nerves but it's a must and a little tugging and pushing all your gaps will come good in the end mate you see ....... Just be strong minded and don't settle for " O that gap will do " as it will drive you mad .....Every time you walk to your bus you will see any wrong gaps .......Ya dam eyes are just drawn to them ........ But you and I both know this will not happen so just keep doing what your doing as the bus is looking great mate !!

Bulkhead MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM few! glade mines all done What a hassle repairing and making panels for all those angles and curves that no one will ever see .....but you'll now that behind the cabinet you have a perfect bulkhead :cheers:

Thanks for the comments mark :cheers:

You're right it did feel good looking at the bus side on with it's new panel. Now it's starting to look like I'm getting somewhere. :bounce:

The gaps will have to be done to OCD standards, one thing I hate looking at is doggy door shuts. Shame I've got to waste time now and take the front outriggers, top hat, and side sill off and move it back 7mm :roll:

Bulkhead is a pain in the back side fookin hate it!!!!

Cheers

Top Secret spy shot taken the other night at the Birkshop...

As you can see, it's a typical Bay Window!

Here's how it started the evening...

Marco is following the traditional Lo 'E' Nuf method of dealing with complicated, long term projects: buy another quick 'n' easy project for the time being. After all, it won't eat into the Split's time, money, etc. :wink:

Well, only a lot.
