Nope, Junior's writing exams and did no further work. The windows have been cut and I bought the new rubbers. Will be out of town this weekend but we will be fitting them next weekend. Then off to do the interior. Pics will follow shortly.

So some progress have been made. We fitted all the fixed windows, while the pop-outs have been to the powder coaters.
Then off to Sam the man, also known as the upholstery man :lol:

Here the seats that needed some touching up :shock:

Front bench

and the rear seats from the Delux Bay
Image

all stripped down to this
Image

then started the roof lining, carpets and panels
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Then the sorry looking seats were transformed to this
Image

Image

Image

as you can see, still work in progress.

The bus should be done by the Saturday. Then back home to finish the windows.
More pics later :hangloose:
