Back home at work again!!

Home again after ten successful days in Avesta working on the bus! We have built a whole new rear end from the rear wheels and back, fabricated a all new lift gate and mounted it on the bus, started mounting a new fuel tank, gray water tank and a fresh water tank!
Thanks to Tobbe and Crille and a special thanks to Patrik Widd that always is there to help and support with the water jet and doing an amazing job!!! 🙂
And a extra special thanks to Jocke Månsson that took one week off from his work just to help me with the bus even that he is not in the team, he did it just because he is a really good friend that wants too support me with my stupid ideas!! 😉 Thank you!! =))

Some pictures below.

When we started for about ten days ago…

Cut off the old rear end.

Start looking like something…! 🙂

The upper and lower loading floor is in place!!

Pretty cool!!

The new roof is done.

Cutting some lift gate holding bars.

This will be really strong!

Some of the old tail….

Our new fresh water tank! =)

The lift gate holding bars and the guides are in place!!

The rear bottom floor is in!

The work moves on really good! =)
Today we got the lower rear floor in place and also some of the pipes on the sides, Tobbe also took a trip up north to Falun and bought a fuel tank and some mounting stuff for it, and then he headed back to Stockholm to work for 4 days and then go back to Avesta together with Crille on Friday again. Me and Jocke will be working on the bus all week and we hope to test mount the rear lift gate in the end of it!!
