61 split

Post by Cruizey »

Hi all. Am restoring a 61, 13 window and have learnt heaps reading stuff on here. Spent last year restoring a 71 early lowlight to show condition and now its finished I have the bug for a split. Thought the lowlight had heaps of rust when restoring but the split will be more of a challenge. Still not sure about the suspension and steering type to use but sure will need advice from you guys in a couple of months.

Your right Paul. I was told its an old PMG bus and apparently they had the dealers fit the corner windows on some buses before delivery. Is this true

Im guessing the 13 window was a 11 window with rear windows cut in for better vision back in the day.
