About time someone showed up with an Orange bus !
You gotta be in the most prime place for chasing parts. Seems like so much of the good bits come from that part of the country...... Hopefully it hasn't all gone. Good luck with the journey !
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists! Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

I love the orange single tone with the pinstripes down the front and sides, i was going to make it 2 tone like most but have gone back to leaving it as it is, would make a great rat i think :) havent seen any parts yet, i get most of my stuff off ebay, just kampers and bus stop, always on the looko0ut though, might have to start going to the big swap meet! attached some more photos, she was a real ripper when i found her

Welcome Michael. Looks like you've put in some hard yakka already. As Longrasser said you are in a good spot for knowledge and bits.

I'll send you a pm with a details of a bloke you could speak to.

Enjoy the process.
Brad
