This week we set about fixing an early bay with very poorly rear vents. After an initial attack with a wire wheel it soon became apparent that the bus has had some prime bodging in the past
This rear corner was knee-deep in filler covering old accident damage.
The tin worm had destroyed the rest
We first cut all the rot out. Then we rust proofed the inner panel
We then let in a panel from a dry Californian bus
The gutters were also repaired
The other side was a little better - just rust this time and no accident damage
A repair panel was cut to shape
.........and then welded into place
when all the welds are cleaned up we start the preparation for paint with a very light coat of filler
starting to shape up now
Then we hit the bus with filler-primer
after a guide coat and a bit more graft it's ready for paint!
