Did you find the metal stretched at all after using the gas torch or was it manageable.
Nice job.

Well was doing some cleaning the other day
Found some boxes of goodies that I had actually been searching for
One box of drums and all the rear brakes bits
So finished off the gearbox sides etc
Also managed to find a use for one of those rubbers from the tie rod ends
excause the wire work but it should keep some dust out

Hope to get this back on the bus aswell as the early front rack -just to get mobile to move to my zone as the boss needs the shed cleaned out for his sons 21st this weekend - no ways I can have the bus hanging with the hooligans

Just a little progress but it all helps
