Tried convincing my wife that we should fit a big motor and a nice interior and run it as it is for a season or two but not having a lot of luck. Will have to hope my body shop is booked for the next 18 months :wink:

I know what you mean. We have waited 10 years for this bus and in that time have built up a clear picture of how we wanted it to look. I know we might upset a few people, but it's not like there is a shortage of og buses out there. If it was something special and rare I wouldn't dream of painting it but I know of two other buses with almost identical paintwork to this for sale 15 miles from me so there's plenty out there still.
