Yeh keep it, finish at your own pace & just looking at it will make your days better.

I still regret moving mine on.

Yeah she ain’t going anywhere. Except for when I’m driving it

[rusty 55]

Had a couple of hours spare today in between other stuff so had a little play in the shed
I’ve now removed the engine lid, rear hatch, front bumper and chopped most of the bottom of the front
Also scrapped the insulation of the rear parcel shelf, it’s a bit rusty under there, found a few holes

Good work mate. Stoked to see some progress.

[rusty 55]

At the moment It’ll just be bits of cleaning up and rust removal. Work out a shopping list. An hour here and there, all adds up

[braddick]

Any updates mate

Any updates mate

Unfortunately the only thing that’s been done is shit has been building up around it!
It’s been a crazy year, can’t believe it’s been a year since!
Hopefully back on it soon

Hey Big Dave, another year gone, any updates?

Hey Big Dave, another year gone, any updates?

Yeah I’m keen for some progress updates
This bus is in my top 10 coolest buses on dsk ( IMHO) so we want to see some ACTION Dave

[Beatts]

When’s shed night starting Dave? We’ll all behave and skin some knuckles in the process.

Guys I’m desperate to get on it but life keeps getting in the way. Unfortunately its been tucked back in the corner. I did however clean all the shit out of it, removed the last couple of windows and pulled the headliner out since last update but no pictures as there’s not much to see.
Definitely plan to start on some welding this year tho

[braddick]

Any Updates bud
Get that oven cleaner out this weekend with the heat gun

[rusty 55]

I wish there were but sadly no. It’s getting closer to the middle of the list!

[braddick]

Valla in 2 yrs time bud
Matt’s made a pledge to get it done
U blokes in SA only have to ring up for reg and it’s happy days, right

[rusty 55]

Well in the unlikely event of me actually getting this bus on the road in 2 yrs there ain’t no chance of me driving it to Valla.
It’s going to be original running gear, don’t think I’d get enough time of work. Besides someone will need to be the designated drinker

[rusty 55]

Unfortunately no walk in rego on this bus, will need an inspection as the plate has been reassigned and no paperwork.
