Post Brands repairs

Considering what had happened at Brands i felt rather lucky to only have the following minor repairs to complete!!

• Fibreglass, filling and painting of bonnet
• Straightening out bonnet hinge/radiator A frame
• Headlight mountings

On the wayback from Brands I picked up a new (to me) rear tub for £20 from a nice chap off  www.locostbuilders.co.uk. It is a tub from the Fury with the doors, so actually stops just infront of the rear arches, so the plan is to cut the front of the existing tub off (as this is in pretty good nick), mount the new rear body, then create a joining method between the 2 just infront of the rear wheels. I like the ide of this as it makes removing the bodywork a lot easier for 1 man, and future damage will hopefully just require working on smaller mouldings.

Room in the bus was a bit limited, plus i had to get the new rear up to the house from the end of the road (as the bus doesn't fit p the lane to my house), so i invented the first double decker Fury

You can see the front A frame is a little off to one side

And the (new) aluminium rad ducting is a little bent

The bonnet has been sent away to the bodywork doctors (dads house), and an evening with a vice, hammer, 2 lumps of wood and welder sorted out the wonky A frame.
