The not so fat lady.
My new project, tried to sell it once didnt sell so just left it in storage 9 years and 11 months to be exact, plans are to get it running do some minor rust repairs and basically drive the wheels of it.
Its nice to be important, but it is more important to be nice.

Re: The not so fat lady.
Seems the more i remove there is more to remove, took a break today and tackled the rear brakes this think has not rolled by itself for at least 20 plus years, drummed rusted to shoes, have a good puller but still took hours.
Trial fitted the headlight panel which i rescued from another bus years ago and the first of some green panels to go in.
