Been doing a bit more on the old bus and ended up cutting the 1/4 panel off. It's horrible in there.....
Much worse than I expected and you can't buy the whole panel, just the outer lip. Time to get creative.....
Had to make up the difference with sheet metal.
Used the original and only solid bit of metal to set the width...
Then replaced that once the rest was aligned and tacked.
A bit of hammering and bending and a few tacks...
Just to seam weld it up, fix a wee radius at the front to stop water from pooling and give it a blast with the linisher and it should be ready for some primer and fitting.....
