63 MG/PW 15 Window
by Rick T » Sat Mar 22, 2014 9:05 pm
Hi to all at SSVC,
Just had my first bus now for just over a week and busy getting it stripped down, it's a August 63 15 window that I've just imported from Texas. No real experience with any sort of bus restoration so I'm defiantly a novice and hopefully be able to call on here for any advice. Will get some pics posted tomorrow, but it's basically a rolling shell in need of full resto. Going to try and do as much as I can myself, but already organised for it shot blasting and he turned out to be Westy Mick off here (cheers Mick for all the advice you gave me)
Hopefully back tomorrow with some pics
Rick
