  3. Although I've been on The Late Bay for a while now, thought I should show my buses journey to roadworthiness and in the process give me inspiration to complete it as quick as possible. Deadline 04 March 2015 the buses 40th birthday.

  5. 278035_10151044433801055_841884477_o.jpg Both rear chassis members required major repairs. The rear valance was to far gone to repair as well.
