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

| 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. |

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! 
Cargo door's next on the list:

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?

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
Tiny bit of filler and u won't even notice!
On to the cargo doors now
