Looks like I will be disappointing myself and others, I cant see it being ready for sunday, for all those people who have done restos they will know what I mean, I have about 100 jobs that should take 5 mins each but when they start taking an hour due to 'unforseen' circumstances you soon realise you have no hope. I also dont want to rush things and do a shit job just to have to re do it in the future. I have learnt alot from this resto and the main thing is "NO MORE SHINY BUSES!'

There are bigger things going on at the moment, the bus can wait. If i want it done in a hurry would have to rely on others to much, its not fair on them so will just take my time, besides what am I meant to do when its finished?
