This morning’s progress was slow, mostly spent cleaning up under the back of the bus following the recent demolition work.  I did manage to drill the holes for the through bolts in the repaired corner pillar, these bolt through the steel curved corner reinforcement, both gusset plates (one either side of the pillar) and the pillar itself.

Later int he day I cut three gusset flitch plates from the remaining 2mm Zintec steel, one pair for the corner pillar and the third for the pillar that has the boot closing panel attached to it.
