Looks like it got a little rusty on it's way from CO. Epoxy would have been good for it. _________________ -Corey

Corey, every inch has surface rust on it. Blasted and left to rust.

This is how we received the bus. The previous shop was supposed to put the whole thing in primer before it left. They didnt and it was transported across country to sunny humid Florida. So this is it's current state. It's only flash surface rust. We'll finish the rough metal work then send the whole thing to the blaster and then DP it. _________________ Jason Stratton 407 497 9944

no and yes. the owner that owns it now is not the same owner when it was here on thesamba thread.
however the owner that owned it when the other build thread you posted is still the current owner.
so samba build thread- no
other websites build thread- yes _________________ Jason Stratton 407 497 9944

Unpick and refit new sides or are you going to attempt to porto-power it back to shape (hard to do without creasing all the inner frame/pillars/reinforcing hey!). Looks like you'll have fun mate!

Great question. Im glad you asked after talking to the owner and showing him what condition the bus was in we decided that it would be best to undo the work that as already performed. stay tuned. _________________ Jason Stratton 407 497 9944
