It would seem I’m really enjoying this patina stuff
I’ve now added some too my 63
Bloody backed into the bull bar on the semi
I wouldn’t be any good in a panel and maybe I should be buying a bus with corner window so I can see more
Bashed out the lower section so the tail light would fit back in and will have to attend to the rest at a later date
I guess I know now what I’ll be looking for at the swap meet on Sunday
Sing out if any Adelaide crew have got a spare lens in stock

Just hack 'em into the mango Brad. Now that would be very, very cool - and Ian could give you a tutorial...

Also, I would like to add - if you are getting into the patina thing, just leave the crease there. I think it looks nice...
I'll bring a lens for ya!

Taking this whole faux patina thing a little far mate.

If morts doesn’t find a lens let me know, I have a few tucked away for the lowlight. Probably a bit faded though.

What's the world coming too ? Extreme Patina mods. Shooting them with Guns .... now Semi Bull Bars.

Who's using the D10 next or dropping something out of a plane :D

But yeah, i think I heard you when walked around and saw that... :twisted:

Wow, you have a lowie project as well. Estimated completion date please or does it form part of your superannuation fund and you can’t touch it for another 25 years (conveniently)?

WTF Brad.

I know your bus is your bus and nobody’s else’s business but I’ll happily donate some new tail light screws if you need some for the replacement lens after your little smash.

Tek screw, farmers best friend
Taken over from baling twine
