  15. nice :cool:

    ....it will be one hell of a great christmans present getting it back in new paint :)

    ....then the expensive bit of putting it all back together begins!!! ....I thought putting it back together would be quick and cheap ....but putting old bits back on a bus never looked right on mine after all the time I had put into it, so I ended up either cleaning and painting or buying new!!! :D
