Jason's Split

Lots of plasma cutting and grinding on Jason's bus has left us with more of a clue as to what needs to be done. We are cutting out all the old welding (it's pants) and starting again.

The photo below shows the sill slapped over the top of old metal and then a rear wheelarch over the top of all of it - quality!..................it's all coming out

The outer sill below came off with a couple of hammer blowsmore holes appearing
..............and some more
repro panels about to go to the scrap man





The best bodge yet...................the front seat belt was attached to this panel!!!



The main chassis rails are good as are the I beams - these will be cleaned back to bare metal prior to coating in 99% zinc paint. We will try to keep some original metal in the bus, anything that looks dodgy or won't clean up will be replaced with quality panels

more updates on this bus on Friday
