@ bulliboy - very exciting, overwhelming, but eager as! Drinks tray/doorcards will be keeping, but perhaps I could cut patterns of the door cards for peops when I take them off if anyone is interested?
@ Rawdyn - Can't waite for you to meet her aswell, thanks. She will look epic running as a Ratbus!

@ Shaven - playmates are very good, damm right sexy! But can I catch my breath first?

@ Warb - Cheers! I hope I treat her right!
@ Tonz Magonz - Cheers! I hope to do her proud. I'm the 4th owner of Ruby, the 2nd owner dubbed her this, I believe in Kombi Karma, so have decided to stay with her rightful name. And Ruby is an exceedingly beautiful name.
@ Cam, thanks Cam, a big project that I will tackle in little bites. As the Balinese say "Hati Hati" will take slowly with caution!
@ Mid West Dubbers - Updates will proly come in dribbles as I have heaps of projects on the hop this year so far - Double Decker Bus, Vintage Train & Tram Carriage to name a few. But look forward to seeing more updates from you aswell

Ruby will be restored so that I can run her as a daily. She will be run as a rat first, until maybe later evolve into a shiny? Not sure yet. I was thinking of using this bomber devil girl my husband painted as a motif on the back rear quarter panel. But age it, so it looks like the Vintage Bomber Girls you would see on the side of the B52's. I may take off her wings tho, but keep the tail & horns. What do you recon??

whatever you do don't toss the the interior, you will be surprised at what its worth especially the black strip at the bottom of the bulkhead its gold.

Thanks winerot, I am going to keep everything pretty much stock & restore/protect as much of the interior as possible. Cheers

Agreed. Nearly impossible to remove intact though. Have you had any success in removing one Wal?
