1955 Microbus

A bit more work done on the early microbus this week. We had to repair the front floors, fit a wheel arch and straighten the wheelarch already fitted before we got the bus.

the large bits of missing floor were replaced with panels from A H Schofield


The wheelarches we used are the internals from a standard repair panel and an excellent quality outer from Autocraft. The standard repair panel was separated and the panels were trial fitted.

Next we used Cleko fasteners to hold the inner in place for welding

Then we fitted the outer skinoverall an excellent fit - this door will need playing with as it's a bit beaten along the lower lip.

we have also sorted out the other side but I can't find the camera! - will post some pics tomorrow
