You've got just as much Patina as that bus Wiz.
More quality stock for the boneyard

I know of 3 people on here that knew about it before me, I think it’s just something that needs to be saved, it’s probably been in the same condition for the last 20 years.
If you haven’t done anything to it then pass it on just like I will when I weld it up
Yeah last bus till the next one

Can’t believe the back lights are still on it. Any other goodies with it?

They cleaned up in the 80’s and brought all the good stuff

No rest for the wicked !! You're a machine and another project that is lucky to fall into the Wizards Hands.

I see a little light from the rear shot - roof gutter dissolved. Looks nice and dry mostly 8)

Liking this bus Patina

Yeah a little bit in the passenger rear gutter, little bit in front window frame, but both battery trays are intact
Should be an easy fix compared to the others
