After last weeks finds of major frame work issues due to rust and water damage we this week started to strip back the windows and frame around then issue area.
We have fun removing windows and exposing the issues and look into what we need to do!

Enjoying these conversion vids , at first i have to admit i thought you was Eddie Hall 🤣… Look forward to seeing the finished project 👍
Proper job smashing time Conrad you r getting there long way to go yet but you now see what needs doing here too the next time 😂
YEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAA
wow, that's a lot of corrosion there, will you be putting some sort of rust protection on repair to hopefully stop the corrosion , brilliant video as always
Excellent build youve got there . 👍👍👍
I love seeing your updates dude.
Bonding is unfortunately the new replacement for workmanship. MA laughs about it but to me, the idea that cars are held together with Mansory glue™ is frightening.
The rot isn't a worry, simple box sections and panels. An old fashioned fab will knock up those window mounts or get a caddy to draw up what you need and go to a modern fabricator.
I'm a cad monkey.
This is starting to remind me of Sailing Yaba…
They start digging out rot on an old boat and eventually rebuild the whole thing.
Why an earth you don't wear gloves ? Its really silly to be honest you have to look after yourself. I am not having a go, I am just thinking of your hands.
The cinematography is top notch as always 😉
I love sitting down to my Sunday morning breakfast & watching your videos – I find Sunday mornings a bit lonely since my husband passed away (2023), so watching your family makes me feel less lonely ❤
pull all ols windows out
Smashing!
Nice to see my old No 54 Holderness Road school bus. 🙂
I've have broken it long before then to be fair 😂 12:49 😮
Safety glasses, gloves & dust masks. Need I say more.
Just thinking…
Do you need to remove both windows each side of the one you need to remove due to access and possible damage to the glass when replacing or repairing the rusted metal work?
Also due to age would all the windows need to be resealed into the bus again because the current sealant going/getting hard and brittle
Luckily it is only one window frame that needs work. 🤔
i was wondering where your wife was, an important job. I dont have the brains to advise, but im looking forward to see how you overcome this
The Purple Turd! Very appropriate!! Hope it flushes easy. Got to get worse before it gets better, unfortunately, as you already know!!! Good luck, happy scraping. Timelapse great for music if you get the volume balance correct and choice of tune. Regards.
Please wear safety glasses and gloves I admire your enthusiasm I hope the project is a success I enjoy your videos
I would remove all side windows, repair the frames then panel all side up then fit caravan windows in the places you need them that gives you windows that open.
Getting very expensive I would think.
Think that it’s a coach bodybuilder that you need because both sides this is structure that holds up top deck this is why my company got rid of ours !!!!
Anne & Les watching from Lisburn N.ireland
reckit ralf + glass = 💥 who knew? 🤣
Lovely air conditioned bus ready for summer 😂
I’d take the rest (downstairs) out , sheet metal over it after repairs , put some decent campervan opening windows 😁😁
You surely got glass shards stuck in your skin pulling that broken glass. Also lucky you got none in your eyes. Gloves and goggles aren’t expensive.
Ill just try and lever this huge pane of glass out with a pair of tin snips…..oops it's smashed…🤣 Hang on, window 2, I'll just stick a pair of pliers behind the glass and….oh no that ones broke too! Lesson learned, glass does not bend.
Berkoff buses are rubbish , 99% of bandbuses are Setra or VanHool because they are much better built . companies only use Berkoff , Daf or other makes because they are cheap to buy
When removing those windows you need to keep slashing at the slant then put a piece if fishing line through and cut the sealant rather than smash the window the window are repairable at a double glazing gas centre as the gan get a 6 mill insulated seal don't break any more ask a windshield fitter for a bit of advice all the windows need removing and re sealing in there is a easy way come on viewers there must be a auto glass person out there to give him a heads up or a bit of help.
Long piece ,of piano wire might be easier
Oh, good video, but not so sure about the health and safety aspect of the work .
Some protective glasses and gloves together with a multi tool may be a good idea, thanks.
Wear proper ppe you will regret not doing it when your older good luck in your project
costing yourself money, all could have been removed intact with a few more tools and cheese wire….metal near glass is a no no.
seen that coming oh dear
Best to get all the shocks out of the way , when doing the re-build . Better than when you are living in it. Hopefully the Tin Rot doesn’t extend too far into the rest of the frame work. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sorry to say I saw that coming as the back end had loads of sealant on it. Be careful too!
And then the other one 😬😬😬😬 was that the heat gun on it for too long?
Mega water traps around those windows, not great designing by the coach builders
Rule number 1 don’t wear headphones when watching when glass is involved
Well you had a smashing time. 😂 can you wear gloves and at times safety glasses. I don't think your viewers want a video from A&E titled Conran had an accident
Hello I’ve just subscribed to your brilliant channel next time I see you in the shopping centre car park Rotherham can I come and say hello ❤
It's refreshing to see someone having a go at something they don't necessarily know everything about. It's how we learn.
Also sometimes snips are the right tool to remove a window 😂 I'm very much like that, "what is the tool nearest to me that will give me cutting ability/leverage/hammer ability" and then that is the tool for that job. Just get in there and get it done 😂 love the channel and looking forward to seeing everything coming together.
What is the overall timeline? Did I hear in a recent video it'll be a couple of years? Is there any hard deadline? What are you doing with the current bus?
You could put opening windows there.
