Many hours and ideas ago.

Now that we have converted the school bus bullnose ( very square and angular ) in to a more rounded and sleek look we can continue with the resheeting in aluminium. I want people to look and turn their heads when they see our new home....always trying to impress. Most people are lucky to build a patio table or similar innane items , I and my friends however take on quite adventurous projects.

The back window was removed and a fibreglass panel was made to fill in the hole. This as you can see turned out quite well. A recessed section was created at the top for the rear turn/stop/brake lights and the centre recess was for the reversing camera . The gaps etc were filler with body filler and sanded off....what a fiddly job.

The outside sheeting has been removed and the frames have been made for the windows. One of life,s mysteries is " why didnt I try one of my windows in the holes made , I had them there". Somewhere I read that the manufacturers allow for the required gaps.. just leave holes the size of the windows ordered . Now I have windows that are to say the least very tight .

I had decided to use the front left hand door for my entry when one of my dearest friends said to me that the difference between a motorhome and a converted bus is that people do not move the door. As she left my yard I was cutting in the new door . This meant a curved door and cutting down one of the bins under the bus.. the end result is awesome.. a must.

As you can see the door was no mean feat..but it works a treat.

Enough for now I will return with new pictures later....sich.
