just got this catering panel some of you may be familiar with..

Am fixing the wheel arches from a donor bus... And will bring her down a notch.
the cargo floor had sheet metal rivited on and the original floor is ratshite.. so replacing that with repair panels i have, passenger sill is gawn, also have them.. apart from that it is a VERY rust free panel other sill and front areas are fantasticly good etc. Still 6v and original 1200..reduction hubs etc. Master cylander is cactus. but will convert to 12v soon.. anyway enjoy pics...

...OK cool....just stay off the green stuff when you do it then....you might decide to see if there's another one under the original... which would make it not the original...if you found it

would look awesome if you got back to the original signage. i have done it with the sanding method on bikes before. not hard to do, and has an awesome vintage look when finished, but very time consuming.
