Worthy 66 bus restro

Post by Worthy »

Hi everyone, I think it's time to share some of the work that has been getting done on my bus. For all new readers this bus was purchase down in Sydney from a gentleman who had it in the the family for 27 years,which made it a tough 7 to 8 months negotiating. Therefore the condition of the bus was in fairly good condition for a splitty,which made it easier for Ian to agree to this challenge :D. Ian (tin bits) has been kind enough to take on this project for me. The project was started 6 months ago and during this time here are some pics to share.
