1st. The centre back panel is being cleaned up in the garden workshop. Rewarding work, though dusty!

4th. Rear panel ready for repainted number plate and cleaned-up Bluebird panel.

21st. Result!! A Regal badge, acquired for £10 at ShowBus, fits perfectly on the radiator lugs. (Now all I have to do is make the rest of the coach as smart as the badge...)

24th. I set to work to level the rear chassis.

24th. The rear looks a good straighter!

24th. The offside rear spring was previously concave. It is now convex!

26th. Following a visit from Bus Guru Mike Fuller, I follow his advice and grind off the chassis extension pieces, freeing the bent spacer (so far at one end only).
