57 dove blue ( get me a VB )
Bought this bus in half shares with my mate Andrew, we will work out in the next few months who wants to own it outright but it was a too good of bus to let slip thro our fingers, pressed bumper buses with og paint ( fingers crossed ) are getting hard to find
The usual lower 6 " repairs plus a rear chassis cut to graft back in but the roof and gutters are in great condition
Will get more pics when we pick up

Re: 57 dove blue ( get me a VB )
Thanks guys, history on the bus morts is pretty limited
I think it was found in the Victoria mallee area about 3-4 yrs back before then unsure
I think it's got some old sign writing on it on top of the house paint Victorian bitter maybe, so maybe something to do with a pub somewhere.... Who knows
Hoping the og paint is good like it was behind the front emblem
C u Adelaide guys in a couple of weeks at Colin place
Cheers

That should clean up great Brad. Front floor looks very solid
