A Bus named Blue

Post by alants »

Hi Guys here is the link to my photo album showing A Bus named Blue !

http://s1192.photobucket.com/albums/aa3 ... nt=Bus.jpg

Hope the link works - it may take you to Bug's album - just page thru to see Bus

She is a 1978 2l AC bus in really good condition

I got Bus 02/09/2011 - she was a single owner bus from new with 226,000 k's on the clock
All I really need to do is have the interior redone - seats, ceiling and door panels
The PO had her esprayed 2 years ago and the job was done reasonably well
However - I've already started sourcing new bits and pieces like new mirrors, locks and seals sun visors and a new set of front mats are about to be ordered !

I'll update as I go along

Nice bus, congrats

Looks like you and the seat cover are already enjoying very much!
