managed to get front crossmember, rear crossmember and two top rails with new shift rod guides in. front outriggers and rear "c pillars are done, next step is rear outriggers, then inner front arch area and sills. every time i go to weld something i have to remove more rust to find somewhere to start from.

Have you checked the birth cert for this, it would have to be one of the earliest RHD T2's around!

Wish I had your skills with a welder.

he he.
that's me standing behind the rusty piece of crap in the second pic.
and yes, I'll be lending as much assistance, and limited experience when and where I can, to see it back on the road again.

it had better look like this when your finished.I got this pic off barndoor.dk,whats your chassis number?you should stick it on here as there are only a few aussie barnys registered,
or is there an Ausrtralian barndoor register?

any bus pre march 55 is a barndoor, it's in reference to the large engine lid at the back (not the cargo doors) Damn are they sexy

I can't think of a better candidate for sprints and a monster type 4.
