    that looks nice and fresh!!

    I'll have a proper look tomorrow as I'm off down to Absolute to see Simon ;D
     
  3. Looks fantastic!! Well done fella, wish I had those facilities!
     
  4. The bottom of your bus looks better than the top of mine. Way to go! Keep going, you're almost there.
     
  5. ;D ;D ;D Thanks for all your words of encouragement. I will post more pics when the running gear comes back from the powder coater. Mean time we are trying to find a clear wax that will harden off for the last coat of protection for the underneath. Any ideas????
     
  6. All the running gear is now back from the powder coater, so let building commence. ;D

  7. very nice, would be a shame to put it all back on the bus and get it dirty
    How much did that lot cost to get done, if you dont mind me asking
     
  8. Yeah got to admit, I will be watching every puddle and bump from now on. The front beam was sprayed, the rest powder coated and that cost £250. And the drums and disks are coated front and back.

    nice looking bits Byron - when are you hoping it'll be on the road
     
  13. That is the fifty million dollar question. Even though the bottom six inch and running gear is done. The body is waiting for a paint slot, that maybe Feb next year. When I get the body back from the painter I will need to rebuild the engine and steering, brakes, electrics, etc, etc. So I think end of next summer, maybe run to the hills 2013?

    thats not a bad estimate! Did you get to this years RTTH, it was a complete washout literally & not a patch on previous years. In the end we went home saturday lunch & frequented our locals - its gone downhill a lot :(
     
  15. Yes we visited on Sunday, it so bad there was no charge for entry. We walked around the stores and went home. This year as been evil for out door events. Lets hope 2013 will be dryer and warmer.
