May 2005 - We have decided to get the welding done by someone who can weld properly, so i've posted some pics of the welding being carried out by Paul Wisk in Andover, and the engine has now been split to see if there are any nasties lurking about in there, seems like all it will need is a clean up and bolt back together.
May 2004 - Unfortunately the barndoor was not on the road for his birthday due to me being lazy... and welding up my 58 microbus.. need a bus on the road still... Work on the bus on saturday last weekend (15th).. well the engine anyway.. Becky and I are having welding lessons so needed something else to get on with.. now after 3 weeks of welding classes i finally fell confident to tackle th more taxing welding jobs.
Nov 2003 - Work Started on the 54... yipee... grinding down old welds, now bought the panels to fit from Schofields and they're going on next.
May 2003 - Still no start on the 54, too many other things to deal with at the moment, like the 56 Oval needs to be fixed up and the 58 Microbus, is having a new engine.
April ish - Bus returns back from shotblasters, having all the old paint taken off, looks fantastic.
March 22nd - Picked up some NOS Cargo Door Handles and Bezels from K.K. also an ignition switch.
March 5th - Delivered the '54 to be shotblasted in Andover, cant wait.
January 10th - Return home from Canada with some parts for the 54; a spare wheel tray, a semaphore switch; a gas tank collar
and a very clean and rust free rear valance. (Bought in texas and shipped to Canada, cheaper shipping)
