Where did you get the screen repair done and what did it cost (PM me if you like) as mine could do with having it done over winter.
Nearly there mate, look forward to seeing you blasting round the Essex countryside

Cheers, Lee.

Careful Loz you know what he's like, if it's laying about he'll either have you welding it or buying it.

He just doesn't know yet that the yard is my new restoration unit as I'm coming out of mine.

Don't tell him though, that's why I'm sending this as a PM 8O

Thanks mate, that's a good point there, all the doors shut solid, straight and closed tight. I haven't actually touched the bodywork yet in terms of cutting and polishing up the old and new paint. I haven't even washed her so there's loads of dust etc built up. I'm looking forward to giving her a nice clean and getting that paint blended as well as I can. To do list for my mind:

Fit muffler and tail pipes
Tune carb
Fit OG cargo inner door handles
Fit rubber lower seat wraps in cab area
Fit screen wash bottle kit
Fit rear seat brackets
Fit front seats and seat belts
Finish little bits of paintwork touching up
Check over bus for any final things she could fail MOT on
A blooming good wash, cut and polish to blend paint

BOOK MOT 8O
