Another Creative Engineering steering rack fitted this week. Andy's bus now has the full works: CSP disc brakes, Creative IRS and the rack conversion.

Jason's Split
A Little more progress on Jason's split. Really tricky bits these - any errors and the roof will look rubbish and the rear hatch can't shut.
with the outer skin cut away we expose more holes on the frame
These holes are sorted and the area then loaded with zinc paint
next a fabricated repair panel is stiched into place
and then the welds are dressed back
holes are drilled afterwards to inject cavity wax.
Having done a superb job on the side gutters, sam set about sorting the rear corners and rear panel
first job was to fabricate a corner gutter

Please excuse the lack of regular updates - we're really busy at the moment and I don't get much time online.
Here's a brief rundown on what's going on today:
Sam is busy sorting out the rear of the roof on Jason's bus
Jeff is fitting a Creative Engineering steering rack to Andy's bus
Colin is finishing off the trim on Mike and Sue's 13 - there will be lots more info on trimming once Colin sets up his blog at ............. http://trimshop.blogspot.com/
Jem has sorted out the brakes on Marnie's bus and is now straightening the bodywork on Tim's '56
Chris is sorting out Mikes bumpers
......and finally, Matt is finishing off the panels on Richies Bay
Hope to get some pictures up later if I can get our new cheap and nasty digi camera working.

this new camera sucks!

SO42 update
OK, we've made a start.
First we tidied up the load area a little and got rid of this

from here
all the rot cut out from one side. The remaining chassis was in really good condition. We've taken it back to bare metal and then given it a good coat of special primer - we then go on to do the same on the other side but i'm sure youget the picture
next we sorted out a couple of bits on the rear corner
that's it for now - plenty more to come on this one soon
