  2. It’s an absolute pearla and I bet for a finish like that a lot of bus owners would kill for. Lovely bus.

  5. Ah yes the same as the one my mate had done. Does it all drive OK? Any backfiring?

  14. they are hefty on the wires but i believe they are easy enough to fit. Air cooled auto elec my say differently though!

    It looks fantastic matey, you must be chuffed after all the ins and outs you went through.

  16. i was determined is an understatement. it will be good when all the pretty bits are on and there's an interior in the back!

    i drive it 30 miles a day to work and back. i love it.

    I sensed the determination. That's a thorough job. I was just saying earlier that nobody much is prepared to pay for that amount of detail and then you post this and prove me wrong!

  19. I had loads of problems with engines. This is actually it’s third!! First one overheated. The second one seized (dodgy eBay buy) . Third has been amazing. I’ve been driving it daily for about 4 months and about 6 months before I put it in storage over winter. No problems at all with this so far
