Bus looks ace dude! I assume you have removed the brown to get through to the original paint, I am trying to do mine and I am struggling to find the best way of doing it, what way did you find best?

Stopped down in Sidmouth:

We had a slight mishap with the speedo... About 90 miles into the journey the needle all of a sudden started spinning round and making a horrible noise (spinning very fast).
By the time I got to a services, this was all that was left of the needle.

Anybody have any recommendations for who or how hard it is to rebuild it?
