What did you do for your Bus today?

I was sitting in traffic on the way home, it was 100 degrees out...when my clutch cable snapped.
Great.
I made it home the rest of the 10 miles. What a sweaty, curse filled commute.
I tried to replace it tonight, now that it's bit cooler, but the pin that attaches the cable to the pedal arm is so worn, it snapped.

Is it upside down or ? I didn't bend it or anything when I put it back on - seemed to go on easy.

Cleaned up the rust on the rear roof today. It has a big dent, old bondo work and the rust was starting to get bad. Sanded, ospho'd and primed it. It is just temporary as to not let the rust take control and I plan on blending in some fresh dove blue with the rest of the original paint. Also added a bus dome light in the engine compartment and made up some curtains. Gettin ready for show season and camping.

I've stil been working on wet sanding back out the og Lotus White on my Standard. Did a full go around a while back now I'm focusing on sections at a time.

If you check out my thread on the bus you'll see what I started with.

Worked on the hell corner of the bus today. This was really bad had been hit and full of bondo and not straight at all. I welded up all the bondo worm holes and striaghtened out the tray a year ago and hammered on it for about 3 hours today before adding filler. It will be painted this year.

The damage

after the hard work

Tacked in one inner wheel well section and started test-fitting the cargo floor. How exactly is everything supposed to go together at the back end?
