Hi there! I'll try put up some more later! Then you will see this one is in a condition that most people would just strip for parts, even the sections (roof, front, etc) are too bad to use. Needs complete reshaping of the front "V" and lots of other areas need to be cut out with new steel welded back. Haha ja, I'm a fanatic of the bus!
