Disco Action

Spent the day tidying up and finishing off a few bits on the bus. Its not quite ready yet but i'll be doing a trial fit of the car and the associated lashing down points and a test drive all loaded up on sunday/monday.

With all the junk removed its a big old van inside:-





You may have noticed i have removed the safety rails etc from around the cab area and there is now a passenger seat. I have decided to leave the one set of safety rails in place for the time being as it adds a lot of strength to the side of the body at the door opening. Eventually there will be a bathroom here so i will remove it and add bracing inside the partition wall. The fuel tank is under the floor on the passenger side so i need to drop the fuel tank to  fit the bolts/spreader plates for the passenger seat, so its just rested in place a the moment, and for the start of the season it will actually be mounted through in the original minibus front row position behind the drivers seat.
