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

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

Re: A Bus named Blue
That is one lovely bus. Love the wheels. They just look right. 

The only substitute for cubic inches are more cubic inches.
