Okey Dokey, photo's of one mid-conversion of an MAN motor-omnibus.



We started with this. A former local passenger transit coach. Then came the hacking and the cutting, and the lifting of the roof. That went well I think.

Note to self. Next time, I'll do the rigging up.


But, by Monday evening, the roof was sitting back on its new support columns, and I had begun stitching it all back together. The front end windows had been removed and bracing fitted, and the brand new skin in galvanised sheet was being refitted by yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon. Today was filled with ensuring all welds are to standard, flushing down ready to reskin the rear end, and fabricating up new window frames for the rear end.

Oops, back soon, forgot to tell Gimp to save in the correct file format.
