It has been awhile since my last post but at last i can say that i have ended my journey on this resto(for now anyway).For all the years that i have been going to shows and guys asking hodgy mate hows the bus going and some thinking it was just an urban legend i finally had the chance at Revolks and Day of The Volkswagen to say, all`s good its over there.After setting myself the goal of Revolks 2012 it was game on,my biggest thanks was to Doc for giving me the kick up the arse and helping me finish it.Hope you like

Busses are very much - each to their own.
But for me this may be one of the nicest busses on the road.
Very classy with just the right amount of bling.

That is a real head turner.
It's unusual all by itself, being a 13-Window Deluxe, but the decisions you've made on colours, trim & interior just make it that much better.
Btw, are you running any sort of heating for those winter cruises?
