Suggest this bus can’t have a surf board on the roof rack but must have an ironing board

[Cheeseboard]

If you run out of ironing boards, I’ve got one in the shed you can have.

Backrest of front seat is rebuilt
If I’m honest it turned into a bit of a high school project with high tensile wire been used too patch up broken/ rusted out springs
But I don’t reakon I’ll be thinking about that when I’m passing commodore’s on the fwy
Happy days

Nailed it mate, what you using on the bottom seat, I have used ply and foam instead of the springs before in both my brothers Ute and all the rear seats in the cubby hut, and I actually think they are more comfortable, sometimes a mixture of density foam is required to get the right feel

Oh Yeah, looks like I have missed a page, forget what I said, carry on, I think I might have to get checked for early onset of Altziemers, ( see I have even forgot how to spell it, I hope that’s right). Anyway sometimes it is good to forget about things, especially how much we have spent!

Good work mate, cab doors are a pain in the arse. Pull that inner handle off before the sparks start flying, i know its ratty but that pot metal melts VERY easy.

[animal]

Great work mate I feel your pain…

[VRSenator065]

Top work mate. I reckon doors are the pits to work on!!
