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

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
