Forbes Soaring Bus [my 60 bus]

Post by warb »

here she is, as first i found it about 6 years ago, sittin on the airfeild at forbes... was used as a place to sit in the shade, was dragged around buy a bar thats welded where the front bumper should be... that other thing is for a flag pole... before that sat at camden strip as a place to sit, at that time it was moved around under its own power..

now speeping near by waiting for me to attack it..
