Then I had a play with the A Pillar.
Looks like a fair chunk of work to do once the windscreen is out.
I didn't get the contact saved from the old forum for replacement A Pillars. Anyone haven email or phone number for him?
The whole Pillar will need some love...
Something that Keith Poole explained to me makes sense. Our Busses weren't designed to have people sleeping in them. The condensation from when we do runs down the insides of the pillars. That's the biggest reason why they rust in the pillars....
Then the day got real...
Taking paint off is scary....
Cutting your bus is way worse...
Some inner panel work to patch.
And a small hole in the inner guard.
Have some bits cut already. Hopefully make a start during the week before I go chasing lambs again next Sunday.
The inside always looks worse than the outside...
So I cleaned it all up as best as I could and gave it a good dose of rust converter...
What weld through primers do you recommend. Do I go copper or galv? I want to give it all a good coating before I fire up the TIG.
