Sure is Leroy. Really coming together, and about time too.

2Gs - The radiator will be up under the chasis rails in the centre with 2 thermo fans. That is going to be the next major step to complete on this.

I remember when this first came out of the bush.
ZP has been a miracle worker.
I can't wait until I see this baby finished.

Hey mate, I heard you were in town recently. Good luck with the new project. Give me a buzz if you need a hand with anything.

Thanks mate, I certainly can't take all the credit for this.

It has been a couple of years now, but the bus is getting there.

I hopefully have a buyer for my old 63 falcon which will give me more cash to throw at this old girl.

It's getting there mate, so hopefully you will see it soon.

My next day off is next Monday so will go out for a few hours.

Then on the 23rd for a week we will have these sections painted and the radiator hopefully all hooked up and ready to go then a few minor things here and there.

Ended up buying a set of 17's for it last night from the states so looking forward to getting those.

I'd be keen for that.

I ended up going with the wheels from Grwheels. They are Escaras.

17 x 7 check out there site on www.grwheels.com

Just got off the phone from the radiator guy and he will have the radiator completed and ready for me to collect before I start my week on the bus.

The next thing I want to sort is a good signwriter I want some oldskool writing across the sides and rear
