The bottom of the from panel had been bodged up
with glass fiber. I cut it all out and replated right across the
front.
The doors had rotted through at the bottom, these I also plated. |
 |
Here you can see the bottom of the doors, a
whole new section has been put in right across the bottom. This has
been done of both the left and right hand sides.
Whats all that black stuff? It's Waxoil. A rust treatment coating that
is all over the bus. |
 |
Here is the back corner, cut, ground and
plated....
I have since replaced the back light cluster too. |
 |
After all the welding ... |
 |
Not a nice sight. When I pulled the
windows I found plenty of this.
More cutting and welding sorted it out. Check out the panels
inside!! |
 |
All nice and solid underneath, and there is
that lowered front beam. Something that I had done in 93, a bit too
low for my maturing age.
More of the black stuff keeping the rust away.. |
 |
Some more welding underneath, plating on the
inner sill, and again more of that black waxoil. |
 |
And here is the front beam, again plated.
This was done when the front lower panel was removed, making access
slightly more easy. |

The near side corner following plating and some
filling. |
