Looks like the "Ben 10" of splittys, my 5 year old would love it

Original owner (since mid 70s) gave the bus some incarnations:

tyre shop, carwash then catering service

I have contacted several previous owners but would love to see how many punters have owned this since new

Love it - so if the car wash logo pic is how it currently sits it seems someone did a pretty good job on the rear guards.

Morts

a few previous owners (dskers)organised some good rust and repair work on the body, I just had a skim of bog and touched it up

Added this link from last year so I wouldn't lose the progress shots of the sign stripping. I think this was my first post.

Have just started stripping green paint from door interior to OG polar white

Got a kick up the arse by the Palm Beach-Elanora DSK motivator (thanks Grant) over a few Coronas then next day he's back helping swapping the beam.

More progress shots to come. Some fun with sticking tie rod ends...slow start but moving in the right direction.
