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.

dus is hierdie die sommige ou tannie blues
sommige ou tannies hang rond vir kwaadgeld
in Garlicks se teekamer
en verorber kaaskoek en scones
terwyl hulle Polaroid-kiekies smokkel in hul handtasse
van oorlede mans en stoutgat bedorwe kleinkinders
op ander kontinente..'

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

The bus should be done by the Saturday. Then back home to finish the windows.
