Evening All,

Things are proceeding spiffingly well, the chassis is stripped, pressure washed and ready for paint prepping. While I was stripping the components off of the chassis, I found several areas where the original paint had been left untouched and from what I can see it appears a lot more olive green than the bs381 298 that I have been supplied.

There are a couple of areas that needed to be repaired but all in all it is in very good condition.

Tell me about the double frame rails at the back. Is that to 'spring' the cargo body? Does it pivot at the front and rest on what looks like half round springs at the back?
