Keeps telling me they are too big... even once compressed. Ideas?

Upload in photobucket, select the pic file and post it. There's a few threads on posting photos.

Looks like a super solid base to start with! What's the plans? Leaving it "ratty" or full blown shiny resto?

Let's hope it's not too entertaining. Or at least not in a bad way

Way better starting point than my bus, nice find. First thing I would be doing is starting to hunt for a bulkhead if the OG one was hacked out. They can be tricky to find and I know some of the "usual suspects" who stock that sort of thing want $800 so keep an eye out for anyone cutting up a bus (doesn't happen too much these days). Where in Adelaide are you?

Nice bus looks solid is it South African build?, that would explain the bulkhead and lower vents
