Great resto ......

I have been watching this on Al's web site (gallery) and have found this an amazing resto for a bus that looked so good when it went in.

Al is doing a fantastic job on your SC and it will be like a showroom floor bus when finished.

Can't wait to see the finished job.

The most amazing thing was that it looked like a finished resto when it first rolled up to Das Restohaus.

Do yourself a favour and flick through the gallery.

It's like a step by step process of how to resto a SC ...... MAGNIFICENT!

Great work Al.

Just a couple quick pics - I don't want to take over the thread!

The rear corners were a long time coming (almost as long as the front end bushings/sideplates!), but now things are coming together quickly!
