G’day All,

I was put onto the list buy Steve Muller. I have just acquired a 1958 split screen micro bus. I would appreciate any assistance or guidance on where to start. I have just completed a homebuilt aircraft so the split is my next project. I’m in Hastings Vic and would like to hear from anyone local.

Cheers

Daz

Nice bus Daz, very impressed you've built your own plane! With that kind of background I think your resto on the bus will be pretty special 8)

Someone has done a good job in the past of retro fitting later 1963 onwards 'fisheye' front indicators, and covering up the old semaphores in the B-pillars behind the cab doors. (European/Australian buses before '60 didn't have indicators)
I wonder if you have later back lights as well?
