Chasing any Neiman steering lock parts, will consider anything.

The roof wont get painted, its got great faded white paint, I'm a bit stuck between dove blue and mouse grey, would like to achieve the look Andrew got on his bus, use a matt agent so its not that shiny, also may not straighten it out too much maybe leave the weld marks in it, but I change my mind so much on this bus that anything could happen, I still remember Stenchy"s bus that was just brown undercoat!

Hatch fitted and engine lid hinges replaced, also finish welding up the engine hatch, its a 58 hatch that I cut off the rusted licence light section and put on a flat piece, sort of like a brake light hatch but not, I have seen this design on a single cab so as the gates don't hit it when they are down, any way didn't have a better one so its on there.
