Will this mean that I will have to pay you more when I sell my bike to buy this bus? :lol:

Mate keep the bus and get the neck fixed and you'll be sweet. Looking good.

Still had the OG engine lid and crank hole valance! That is an awesome find.
Chasing any Neiman steering lock parts, will consider anything.

youll have to ask Chris if he has the same phone with the pic it was a long time ago. he can inform you of the finder who will defos have pics as his computer is like the Bermuda triangle of pics of buses.

while you are waiting get snapping and snappy and post up a few yourself now hey :)

Thanx Scott I spoke with Chris at Valla his going to dig around for the old pics but I think he might be on his honey moon going off his instagrame posts. Iv sent a second pm msg to the guy who got it from the quarry but nothing yet. Im taking it to a local car show this weekend so was hoping to get something sorted to hang in the window. Ill post a few pics how it sits now but ill be starting a proper rides thread also Cheers Ev

So this is how it is now many hours spent scraping the old grey paint off to get back to the dove blue I also discovered it was once a ampol van.
