Pretty much just bought another vehicle.
Will be doing a fair bit of work to this one, mainly a complete redo of the inside starting off by taking it apart completely and building it back to my specs.
It's nothing special driveline wise but it's exactly what I'm after, 5 speed etc. Mid 80s model with 90k klm on it, imaculate seats etc, been well looked after.
I will try to post some pics up later from the for sale add.
Anyone wanna have a guess as to what it is????? :dunno:

Will it fit through the tunnels at WSID??
Muncha

Hmmm good point, will have to check before I go. Would maybe crack a 30 though, might wait until I take the seats out and try for a 29. :D

it'll fit throught the tunnels easily, the roof is about 4m high and they are approx 4-5m wide.
I reckon you'd be lucky to crack anything in the 30's,lol.

I have a bit of work to get through and will probably be flat out for a month or so, then its full steam ahead getting the inside done.

Does this bus bang like others I have seen about?

It doesnt do much as there are no seats in it. Would you like to buy a seat or 8? :)

Bit of a update. Work has pretty much finished up so we have started to get some work done on the bus. The bed frame has started to be made I just need a few more materials and that should be done. We have ordered a door for the outside, pretty much a caravan door with a security door on the outside and a inner flyscreen door. It's on order and should be 2-4 weeks away.
Went to the caravan/camping show at rosehill race course over the last 2 days. Managed to get a Honda generator for a decent price and also a lot of info the will help greatly on the trip.
Updated pics through the week. :)
