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...

Good for you,this panel has done some k's and owers to match,it even lived near me for a while in Noosa.
Are you leaving the logo stuff?


frenzix - April 7th, 2005 at 10:35 PM

i am not sure about the logo, we may take it back to the signage thats underneath that signage.. an old tyre company.. and then take it from gree back to original arctic white.. just maybe.


frenzix - April 7th, 2005 at 10:36 PM

yeah its had many owners.. poor bugger needs looking after.


frog - April 7th, 2005 at 11:23 PM

Go the tyre company!
Peel off the green scum....it's too modern.


frenzix - April 7th, 2005 at 11:31 PM

hehe, it will look sweet


jenz58 - April 7th, 2005 at 11:34 PM

Frenzix that's such a cool split panel...

Goodness how do you get it back to the original signage underneath...is it kinda like the archeologists do....scrape real careful....OK it's a girl question

Good luck with it...


frenzix - April 7th, 2005 at 11:36 PM

hehe , using fine sandpaper and water u just make sure you don't take off too many layers.


jenz58 - April 8th, 2005 at 12:38 AM

...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

Good work timmy, be careful with those brakes, we dont want another gary now do we...


baybuscamperkid - April 8th, 2005 at 09:27 AM

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.


Octa - April 8th, 2005 at 11:29 AM

Nice... when are you dropping it?


jenz58 - April 8th, 2005 at 12:14 PM

...it took a while for that question to come up...yes when??

Well if you're doing the brakes then is that a good time to drop...same area...sort of...OK chick think again...go for it :bounce
