Got some parts from Autocraft recently!
Looks really good and most of it seems to fit well!
I've kept building the chassis, measured it 1000 times and 1000 times still to measure Need to get it really straight
Some booring problems I've to fix..
Measured it 100 times here and it seems like the outrigger is to long but I'll fix that! I Really don't think it should be bent like that, but if it should please tell me
And I just had to test one thing before I went home!
Really good for my motivation!! _________________ Type 2 -53 smooth Gate SC (o\!/o) Type 1 -50 |o\ /o| Type 2 -55 Barndoor kombi

do all you Swedish guys have huge yards, huge sheds, trucks and heavy plant? nearly every Swedish thread seams to show big yards, big sheds and lots of heavy lifting gear. |
I wish I fixed my 57 oval in my garage at home, couldn't almost walk around the car because it's so tight... Now, I'm lucky who have bigger garage to be in. I'm only usin half of the garage So much easier to work with the right stuff! _________________ Type 2 -53 smooth Gate SC (o\!/o) Type 1 -50 |o\ /o| Type 2 -55 Barndoor kombi

I don't think I will go for standard heigh, but maybe sometime
I've made some progress but not that much..
Since the whole lower front needed to be pulled back about 2 cm I used special screwes for this!
Welded them in place and look now!
There was a 2 cm gap between the door and the B-pillar!
I also remounted the front beam and got it down on earth for a minute I actually did this before a pulled back the whole lower front, the make it easier!
I've also done this so far!
I will mount it in with wheels and then put in the middle chassis section I think, like mark did with the kempes bus! _________________ Type 2 -53 smooth Gate SC (o\!/o) Type 1 -50 |o\ /o| Type 2 -55 Barndoor kombi

The logo on the left frontdoor was overpainted, took it away and the logo is back.
Also found an old picture of one of the Modo buses from the days!
Started with cutting a piece of metal out and then bend it to make a piece for the wheelwell
Cut.
Weld
