okay okay i apologies for my outburst & never will i speak again.
after saying all that this is a beautiful bus now & will attract a lot of admiration from all who sees her in the flesh.

Wally - your comments are right in one respect - the bus is now becoming a beauty. As for "so far everything that has been ordered or made for this has been f#$&%@", this could offend quite a few people that have contributed to this bus. What the so called Kombi experts keep telling me is that they all vary slightly and the fact that the bus is being done in Coffs and most of the work carried out has been interstate and then sent to Steve, there will always be some mods required. I do agree about the quality of some gear, and Steve will tell you who he now knows who to and not to deal with. All in all mate, a learning experience for Steve and I as well. This bus has been modified extensively and Steve didnt have a set of papers to go by, so you will always have a few probs, but it doesnt stand to shit bag on a whole, the good people that contributed. mick

The bus looks amazing, Hoves.
I'm not sure I would've chosen such common colours myself but the execution is faultless.
And Winerot, even if what you say is true that's coming on pretty strong.

I'm jealous!

Wal - your open to speak your mind, its just that I know there have been a stack of people who have beant over back wards to do this bus and they should and will be applauded. But you were right, some of the providers of equipment/gear are rip offs and I wont ever deal with them again..
Kombi1976 - yep re colours, was stuck between 30 different types and chose this as it is one of the 3 colour choices for the year.
Nicko - yep, Steve H is the best mate.
