At this place was the stopper of filling of the water tank. I had long time hesitated to keep it, it was practical but not very aesthetic.

Always the same ritual, cuts out, adjustment, welding, grinding, treatment, a cement hair of completion then finish. Only one objective: no more rust. The least small hole of rust undergoes this shock treatment. The parts of the bus which underwent a shock or a scratch are particularly victims of perforating rust. Whereas they appear healthy, I realize that under painting, rust already "gave an opinion". Result: much more work than envisaged with an aim all of cleansing.
I thought, when I bought the sheet of steel which is sold only in plate of two square meters, to have too much of it. And well I think of having used almost a square meter, and it is quite practical to have big lengths, the plate measuring one meter out of two. The raw material was not missing, so I never hesitated to cut out broad in the bus.
