pretty excited about the arrival of the new project, hopefully it should be getting collected tomorrow and arrive after easter.. won't be such a quick fix as dubjunkeys 65 and will be at the mercy of modest cashflow on an apprentice wage.. started collecting bits..

word is it should be here sunday with any luck... hopefully! the old girl has had some pretty bad luck with tow truck drivers in the past so fingers crossed :shock

its missing a cargo door but this should fab up with some donor window parts and some bashing - and maybe a new handle... will try and get to that this weekend - then some ageing and some sun for the next year or so. with any luck it wont look to out of place against the sunburned goodness on the rest of the bus

got into cleaning mode yesterday while nursing a massive hangover- has some nasty chassis rust and a missing centre windscreen pillar otherwise she's pretty solid and bit on the bruised side

thanks mr D for supplying the bus- your a champion
