Hi All

thanks mork, just working out which parts are from splits and which parts are from bays at the moment lol.

 

First year bay!! Lots of one year stuff in that check earlybay out they had a list going!!
Nice looking bus though!!

 

I like that a lot

 

Bit of t-cut and that will be lovely , nice bus.

 

I like that - nice patina and it sits nice - also seems to have the Windows of Jim Rockford's mobile home - tre cool!

 

Ticks all the boxes. Bang tidy.

 

I like an early early. My other half is a '67, been looking out for a bus for her for a while as i'd sooner she had a bay than a splitscreen

 

Love it Phil, keep it like that, don't be tempted to paint it.

 

dont worry. this is my dream bus. the look isexactly what I want. the rims are sweet, the og paint is ridiculously thick still and the bodywork is rriduncuously dry.

 

Now to design that interior!!

 

@sjhjoinery It comes with original interior which I am going to reinstall but it looks a bit too rough being nearly 50yrs old so will see how it looks.lol. but I may even revamp and reproduce it to original spec. we will see.

 

I like your thinking there!

 

I`d roll in that ,well done and welcome...

 

@lost-en-france u can ride shotgun any time dude.

 

Does this mean the T25 is going to the scrapper?

 

no mate it's almost ready for paint then I need to shift it. that bay has skinted me.

 

nice bus!...in the first two pics the colour looks like a really washed out Duck egg blue....if you ever get it painted, I'd recommend this colour.....have another look a the pics....you'll see what I mean
