Definitely not Linz, will be driven just like my SC. No point having them if you don’t use ‘em 👍🏼

Yes they did EP before I just haven’t loaded the photos in the correct sequence. Don’t know how to either.

Stripped back to bare metal, EP primed, then filler then primed.

Some more action and colour (finally) with the rest being done next week. Then off to the shed for some winter fun.

So the magic mix of paint to matting agent is 50/30 to get a look that's more like an original acrylic paint job. The dash is being redone as it could be better. Was done using a 50/50 ratio.

The finish will buff up if i want to go there, but I'm really happy with the result. Its looking no different to the finish on my 62 SC which was done with acrylic.

Doesn’t matter how long it takes to get there, it’s about how cool you look when you arrive! This bus will be worth the wait.

Love the colour too, she’s looking great.
There are quite a few busses in the works in SA at the moment, looking forward to a show day with lots of new busses to check out
