Found a few hidden bad points, but nothing major. Under the proposed sill repair panel line is all bog.. And I mean heaps. I chipped off a huge chuck.. there is next to nothing left there as far as metal. This thing is not going to have ANY bog in it if I can help it. Dents will be pulled, and if filler is needed, and I am going to give lead wipes a go..

People that have been reading this thread for a while will recall the jig I was making to get the bus mobile, when I didn't have a front or rear end in it.

That was the second achievement for the day. Things were welded up and tested..

With the bus transferred onto the jig, we were ready to move it. Centralised.

The jig held up pretty well, but there is a few things.
The wheels will need to be upgraded, and once in the right spot I might tack weld the sliders on for security and strength.

Whack the 16" barny rims on, and some big emblem caps..
With the help of some bricks.. it looks the goods..

Thanks David, might be an option. The rotisserie idea isn't really me, however I am considering making this one extendable, so you can roll it onto its side, but not upside down. Therefore, depending on which way the bus is facing, you have better access to the roof or floor.

The initial idea wasn't big. I just wanted to be able to move it, and roll it around if I needed to. That bus is a bit heavier than I thought... :blush

I'm guessing by now you know the process, so conserve your time and our bandwidth, I will show you major changes instead of every little step.

Nose was today, as well as passenger door. We also took the windscreens out..
Kate, my fiancee, managed to capture the moment..

Whilst it looks like I have hit it with a grinding disc, I can assure you it is a lot smoother than that. Not much warping either, however if it start to get hot or buckle, move areas of course.

I could get used to this time-off thing..
