Just what I thought was the best layout really.

I swear this thing had more OG paint when I saw it at Pats?? Looks like it's coming together Saxon.

Nope. Only OG paint was inside the roof air vent. I would never remove OG paint if I didn't have to

My mate, Anthony Badams is doing the metal and body work. Does an awesome job

Although the bus was pretty rough to begin with (including starting to be cut up for parting out) Its never been hit. So its been a good base for a Resto. Roof was perfect

All the usual stuff needed doing though. Floors, bottom edge etc

Cheers. This bus will be finished......and Ill be using it

Just going through this site it seams that not many projects get finished....?

I was close to buying a 15 window deluxe sea blue/cumulus white bus recently. Not many special buses in Australia compared to the ROW

Geez mate , big call on the unfinished buses, you’re 5 years in and haven’t finished, been here 2 days on DSK, did you just come on here to rubbish us or are you genuinely interested what all the people on here have Accomplished
Great Start Mate

Ease up, I Certainly didn’t mean any disrespect.
Anyone that knows me will know I love people that have the skills to do metal/ body work themselves- I wish I had them
I know some people are working in their buses over a long period of time I just felt that so many threads were started but then their progress wasn’t posted or it didn’t happen

Obviously I wouldn’t be looking through the build threads if I wasn’t interested in what people are building
