Nice Ute Red Bus, I checked out the Bendigo Ute, it was awesome, but thought it maybe a little beyond my knowledge & experience. Thought I would stick to the one Splitty until I had more practical experience to move on to another, my Splitty looks similiar to your red/white bus is that the 66?.. Looks awesome mate, can't waite to see more piks as you go along. They all look like sweet rides :)

Hey Cooper, great work mate! The Polar White looks good - personally I would have left the whole bus Polar White and not the matt black, but hey, it's your Kombi and you get to paint it how you want.... :D I think the gloss black will look better, though.

So is it 7 months 'til you get your P's or your L's?? Bet you can't wait - very cool first car to drive!!! 8)

thanks i thought of painting it all white but i think it will look better with gloss black, the bottom still needs a bit of work to get it straight. but its heaps better than it was. it 7 months till i get my L's.
