Finally took some time out to go and have a look at the 23. Steve/Rhonda and Co are at the pointy end now, with reassembly taking place. Still waiting on motor and correct front brakes, but apart from that, coming together very nicely. Apart from subtle cosmetic changes (whitewalls, painted splitty rims, chrome pop outs etc), the bus will be hopefully very close to the way it would have come off the show room floor. Mechanically, it will be a 2332cc engine, rack and pinion steering, Berg shifter, front disc brakes.
The guys have done a great job.
