Haters gonna hate but i think it looks killer!

Brake lines, MC and wiring harness in place!








Fitted gearbox and axles, front axle.
Don't have pics because i was too excited :D

But finally after years its back on its own wheels!
(Don't mind the 10 different colors :D

My OG deck lid was bent as f... so ordered a new one from BBT here in Belgium!
Apron was missing when i bought the bus so got me a new one as well






Something whent wrong with measuring i think :(
Right corner was way off so had to do some metal work..
Glad i turned out really nice, its a learning process :?

Rear of the bus is coming along together..
Rear hatch needs a new skin.

Wow! What a great job bringing the old bus back from the dead. Guys who can fabricate and weld like you give all of us with less skills hope that one day we too can do some of these things. Really impressive welding. Keep up the good work.

Yannvanh Tue Jun 27, 2023 12:23 am

Thankyou Steven!

I learned it all by myself, made mistake's, learned how to solve them.
Practiced on old sheet metal en see what the metal did..
Don't be afraid to try and just carry on! :wink:

Cargo door's next on the list:











Yannvanh Tue Jul 18, 2023 6:59 am

Wasn't happy with the tailgate gap so made it look clean!
Made a wrong meausurement with the right rear corner so thats why the engine lid and tailgate needed to be modified :?

Meausure twice is what they said? :roll:











Yannvanh Mon Jul 31, 2023 12:47 pm

Some work around the tailgate windshield..









BarryL Mon Jul 31, 2023 6:29 pm

Wow what a major repair.

oakman Mon Jul 31, 2023 10:18 pm

=D> Great work!!

Yannvanh Mon Aug 21, 2023 7:27 am

Finally finished my rear hatch!

There was lots of rust were the 2 pieces of metal were spotwelded together at the top of te hatch!

My other hatch had this piece in perfect condition! So swapped it over :D


























Tiny bit of filler and u won't even notice!

On to the cargo doors now 8)

Yannvanh Thu Oct 26, 2023 9:50 am

Cargo doors are next!

Decided to put a new skin on the rear one!








gap needed a little tweak, no big deal :lol:






Yannvanh Wed Nov 15, 2023 12:43 pm

Tired of metal work so i painted a couple of stuff in beige grey and my wheels in silver white!
