Got wood in Pretoria myself a long time ago...

... but it was at a Patricia Lewis show in Firkin's

lol @ Pine and, Pine, got Wood, no pun

Ja Pine.

Sill under side door is tacked in place. Primer should go on this weekend (hold thumbs)
Started to sand down the cuboards. Also need to fix the ply in places .

Something else. Kids at Smuts huis Irene

Was wondering what is happening with the project

Keep going man

WOW! a '61 Westy is a good find I'm really enjoying watching this thing transform into its former glory. Good luck and I cant wait to see more photo's.

Primer is on, the panel beater wasnt there today so couldnt get any photos will try tomorrow. Me myself didnt work on the cuboards today, try to sort other things out.

Ok at last some pics again.......and progress.
The sill is tacked in and need a piece of floor.

Primer is on the sides still need work on the roof and then primer.

It's come a long way from the first picture.....well done. I have to replace the barndoor sill on my bus too.

Work on the roof is done 99%. They are busy flatteng the primer and work on all the imperfections (sanding and pit marks around the windows) on the long panel with the "micro fine". They need to do some welding on the dog leg. Should get paint on end of this year (I hope).

Primed and mist with black, busy with flattening. Still no colour. . At least they working on the bus.

Got the first coat of black and sealing wax red on the bottom
Tonight will get second coat of sealing wax red and then the beige grey and then the clear coat(hold thumbs). Then it is the frames bumpers and rims.

Here is some pics that Lowlight sent me of his bus.

Dankie Chris.

Sorry for quality of photos, but murhy step in. Kept camera in car for two months, take it out on Saterday to down load pics and then on Sunday there were progress on the project. Some more Photos soon, was painted on Monday night and bussy with the frames and other loose things.

Thanks again to all the other members helping with posting pics.
