$1845 + GST for a new roof including gutters seems pretty reasonable IMHO.

That is an awesome price especially considering C&C sell them at 1000GBP

Been busy playing with the Cargo doors getting the steel sliders moving again and the handles and catches not a high priority I know but a few hours now is the same as a few hours I a few years time when they will need to be sorted out
I figure as long as your doing something to your bus your still making progress
No photos as didn't think it was that interesting to look out

I just couldn't walk past the dash anymore without giving it a little clean up, pretty happy with how it going to turn out

Also not sure about the best way to persire these exit bullet holes in the speedo pod
Might just knock them back and weld them shut ? Not sure will think on it

Looks like a pretty solid start I'd leave the bullet holes if you are staying ratty

Had a good weekend in Melbourne for the swap meet out at Williamstown today, was good to catch up with some friends and also score some more bits and bobs for the mango and couple other bits for some VW in the shed at home

Not a lot of progress on the bus these last few weeks nicko with leading upto shearing and shearing for a week as a half but I've got a few little jobs done. Nothing to exciting but I guess we all love to see photos
One arvo while I was having a coffee and cake in the shed with sun shining in I noticed some sign writing which I was pretty pumped about, hoping to might help to find maybe the og owner
Hard to get a pic of but it say ( K Reilly ) just behind the b pillar and under the window if u look hard

Also had play with the passenger side door got the catch and door handles working and knocked out some dents and removed some filler, not yet finished with a small patch on the bottom to remove and fix some rust

Also made a start on the lean too of the shed next door to store some more VW, hoping to finish it up this week with only to have too wait on the new iron for the roof
There will be some good agriculture, farm style, how's it going building going on here but it will be water proof and won't blow away ( famous last words)
