Looks like the heartache and pain was very much worth it.

It's bloody beautiful! Wheels are good with the wide whitewalls. Clean.

thats come up very nice, gotta say i might be bias but turkis is a fav colour of mine

.
you got to take the young guy dan for a run one day so he can feel the admiration of eyes on you's as you cruise around,no better way of describing how it feels to drive a nice bus than being a passenger & watching the reaction of onlookers.

hi all,

finally got here registered last Thursday and have been happily driving her about for the last week - and just love it.

People have actually been stopping where I park her and taking photos, and have had two offers to buy her already, but i have politely declined.

I have whacked in a few photos for you all to see. Still a couple of odds and ends to sort out, but she is pretty well done - and is registered for 9 (which takes it to the next class of rego - so over $900 per annum.

Anyway, I do have a few people to sincerely thank;
Carl - the panel beater who did the bulk of the work, finished her off and got her ready for paint. (and who has also spent countless hours with me in my garage, convincing me not to drill holes into her or set her on fire).
Dan - for giving her part of his hands with the rub down and such a wonderful coat of paint
Brad from BusnBug - for sorting out all of the wonderful interior - and fielding 4,396 inane phone calls from yours truly at all hours of the day and the night - nothing was ever too much trouble
roy from the busstop for super service and products
George from Classic Vee Dub - for exceptional service, super quick delivery and top products also.
to all of you on DSK who encouraged me with your words of wisdom, advice and enthusiasm for the project
and Lastly - my wife, who wants to know if she can have one in automatic.

thanks everyone, it was certainly a team effort.

Later
Jason

Hope you enjoy the piccies
