Schofields Rick does the front wheel arches, and you can modify a later BD dogleg (or Autocraft / WW hybrid) like I did on my '51 if that's what you're after. F*&k it, I'll ring you now

SLoooow ............ due to me being broke, but I'm so glad I dusted it down and got back on track with it. Yeh the '52 might be next in line for some work. We'll see :wink:

I'm so looking forward to having that beer in your panel, hopefully at VoWo. Seems just the other day that Me and the missus were cruising back from Belgium with the bus on a trailer and planning the resto. Stock or slammed, stock or slammed....... Think it would still be in the shed tbh so I'm glad you ended up with it dude. Keep at it :-)

Yes there is.. Frame liners. I'm sick of frame liners. :lol:

They're just a pain in the butt, always stalls my projects unless the chassis is upside down on a bench. Then they're fun. Bloody things :lol:

Got gearbox and spring plates all bolted up last night in the rain ready for the move to a workshop today, hopefully going to get most of the welding done over the next week!

Had a good day on it today cut roof edge and complete gutter incl rear and front corner off and replaced half the gutter, also above the drivers door the panel is rotten so I've cut that out as I've got another cut of a bus to repair it with, just waiting until tomorrow to put it in as I have to replace what is left of a pillar with a new one, so going to make sure it all lines up properly, photos to follow shortly!

and i just love the photo above tthat's why posted it up
