Hello all

Most of you probably know this bus as it belonged to TICK, that was until i stole it from him ha ha ha. The plan is stripping back the lovely house paint, making it a little straighter, remove the unwanted cancer and give her a splash of colour.

A generous mate who is doing his trade as a panel beater is helping me out with the work so that i can get the bus to a point where im happy. The work is happening on weekends or if i get home from work of a decent hour (which is incredibly rare).

Cheers Scott

Yes Scott, I remember this bus being advertised, with the added charm of a toilet brush paint job

Still looks the goods though, best of luck with mate. What's your plans other than the paint job?

Cheers

Ted

So the process of getting to know my new bus cosmetically has pogressed from paint removal to rust removal and now, finally on to panel replacement.

Enjoying it very much even though it has become very time consuming. Here are some images from the drive way and panel shop throughout summer. An amateur job but you gotta start somewhere right?

I reckon they have to be the best rims I've ever seen on a ratty old bus as it went through resto.

Great work there.
I will be interested to see your choices via running gear, colours, etc.
