Not at all mate, I did a bit with my 56 but nothing like this project.

If it wasn't for the guy pictured in the welding shot I would be lost, he tells me what to do and I do what I can. He is a gun at this sort of thing.

I am certainly learning alot along the way and what a bus to learn on!!!

That was moistys first time ever to work on a bus, but I must admit he picked it up fast and did a good job. As you can see in the photo he is proud of his work!!

Now he wants a split of his own.

Start saving Moisty!!!

Nasty, that is a massive shame!!

I think if your willing to put he time/money anything can be restored, especially when all the panels and parts are available.

Just got back from Adelaide.

While over there I picked up a 2.5L Subaru motor, have decided to go the conversion on the bus. It will be delivered next week.

Heading out to the bus for a couple of days this week so will show more progress.

Also recieved my belly pans thanks heaps Greenbus.
