66 bus, 58 bus and a 58 ute.

Post by red hot bus »

hi guy's got my first 66 when i was 10 years old me and dad would go for drives in it most weekends but after a year we thought we better get the rust repaired. so we drove it to this guy to restore it for us. but after 2 and bit years he still hadn't really done much so i decided i would fix it my self. so we went out there with a trailer and brought it home. i got a welder for christmas and am starting to do the repairs my self. then i found out about this wreckers that had a couple kombi's so we brought a 58 home. and then a couple weeks ago we won a 58 kombi ute buy accident on ebay. so now ive got three projects. hope i get good at welding.

So Red Hot,

you're the guy that won the '58 ute in Dubbo. And it was an accident? Nice accident! I tried to bid for it but my bloody slow internet fizzed out... :lol:

Cool collection of buses :D

If you don't want your accident, PM me...

The ute klaus has is not the 58 from dubbo, its a 55, a later model from dubbo sold a month or so later which looked similar and went for more than double what we paid for the 55
