You've got just as much Patina as that bus Wiz.
More quality stock for the boneyard

Looks not too bad Wiz, good to see you join the 55 club

Love that shit, for some reason I keep hearing "this is my last bus build" ?? fuck knows where that comes from in my head..

[vanell]

I know of 3 people on here that knew about it before me, I think it’s just something that needs to be saved, it’s probably been in the same condition for the last 20 years.
If you haven’t done anything to it then pass it on just like I will when I weld it up
Yeah last bus till the next one

[rusty 55]

Can’t believe the back lights are still on it. Any other goodies with it?

[vanell]

Just factory safaris, front and rear bar, front seat, semaphores, all doors, securit glass, and a bunch of repair panels. Oh and his trailer that I have to give back in a month or two

[rusty 55]

Awesome, that makes it a bit easier. Some nice bits there
I look forward to checking it out when I come and see you next

[D-Train]

I swear I saw this in coffs passing through a year or so ago

[vanell]

Won’t be it, this bus has never left SA
Belonged to one of the Pool Cleaners
They cleaned up in the 80’s and brought all the good stuff
Still has the Light Motors sticker on the dash

[Griffin]

very cool Ian, well done.
Had the seller on the phone this morning spending up your hard earned cash.

see you at the DoVW

No rest for the wicked !! You're a machine and another project that is lucky to fall into the Wizards Hands.

I see a little light from the rear shot - roof gutter dissolved. Looks nice and dry mostly

Liking this bus Patina

[vanell]

Yeah a little bit in the passenger rear gutter, little bit in front window frame, but both battery trays are intact
Should be an easy fix compared to the others

Awesome bus mate, nice score!
