With the inclement weather over the winter, must say I have been less motivated with work on 3603 - but my New Year's Resolution is to change all that, and really start cracking on! Wilkinson's in Gateshead stock quite a nice selection of power tools, and for the princely sum of £31.98 I have purchased a random orbital sander, and an angle grinder in order to get rivets out, panels off, and get the many layers of paintwork off! Then, I will be able to rivet the panels back onto the body frame, looking much neater, and will get rid of a huge number of bad looking rivets where the pins have been left in, well, if you are going to do something, do it right! Though I do need to find a panel for the nearside, where on a re-panelling the bus lost its intake grille for the demister/heater units, you know the little oval grille behind the repeater lights?
Also still need to figure out that engine stop solenoid, so if anyone knows much about Gardner 6LXB engines I would be delighted for any help!
