Very accomplished artist! And a handsome bus. Were the folding doors fitted from new?

LOL
Norman Julian
You have to explain what I am looking at Gregor Neil Robertson.

Norman Julian it’s the offside A post of the Riley RMF 1953.
With the bulkhead and battery box at its front.
The steel panels adjacent to the door
Gregor Neil Robertson
The steel Panels covered the formed wood.
The sill is wood too.
All wood framing is still available from the excellent Club.

Check out the February work on the bus in 2012

This door opening motor cover is finished and ready for top coat.
It was slightly modified.

Norman Julian 22nd Feb
Being the standout as you get on I needed to make this cover a bit more of a statement to what it originally looked like.
Not sure wheather this is the final result or not.
There will be a few raised eyebrows but . . .


Graeme Knappick
I like it.
