Hey Leroy, was that you holding the bumper at the show, if I new that I would have said hello, sorry mate, almost bought that bumper my self.
Cheers, Mike

Yeah that was Leroy and I talking to Hoves. Leroy was holding my bumper

Would have been nice to meet you properly, we should arrange for something a little closer to christmas maybe?

Sorry I missed you Mike. Ditto on the catch up

Ok. Time for some more pics. Dib and I got bored with just looking at it tonight, so we decided to get out the grinder and have some fun.

Keep it up, Leroy. Looks like the condition of mine before i got stuck into it. Tired, old but all mine....to enjoy.

Wow, there must be a few of the double lights bus's from the 60', that i know about thanks to this site. I think we might have to start up our own private club....heh heh...

BTW. If your still having a go at the Paintstripping, this is what i did and workd very well. Use cling wrap or glad wrap, buy some cheap stuff, after you brush on the stripper, cover that entire section with wrap ... and push down or tap, to seal it mainly around the edges. What this does is speed up the process. But, the part i like is. Don't take it off, but peal away a small section scrap it, continue to do this. You'll find after a few goes. You'll be using the cling wrap to clean the scraper. Creating less mess.

Hope to see some progress...take care.

Here are a few more pics for you boys. Check out the home made outriggers and sills. Also the jacking point exits through the outer sill

Safety 1st

Well, due to unforeseen circumstances this bus will probably have to go.

My other bus project hit a brick wall when the â€œrestoâ€

Man I'd take the whole bus if I had the splash.
Which dickhead quit his job too early?

Mate, can I suggest you take out the glass before you get too far into the cutting and grinding. You cant get hot metal out of windows...dumb experience speaking here

Hope you can find a buyer, seems like a reasonable price. Cheers

ohh man this is a bummer, that sux. but i guess you will have one on the road to keep you happy. if i had 2 g i would get it now man. just so that it would stay in brissy and then i could sell it back to ya when you had the time and money to keep going. well man i know it is bad but good luck with the sale.
