Well here is the story and some pics
Story starts with a friend of mine trying to get some business for his tractor repair shoppe - so he sees the bus and phones me
have a chat with Oom Eben - seems there is a spanner in the works
This is in the form of a deal that has been made between Peter and Bryan Osmond of Osmonds Auto in the Strand and Oom Eben
Seems the deal is repair a T25 for the bus - watercooled conversion
Give the Osmonds a call and Peter says I should speak with Bryan as it will be his restoration project
This all happened on Friday the 25 May
Monday go and meet Bryan and state my case regarding the bus - throw a number at him and now its the waiting game as he will give it a thought as he is actaully after an earlier bus to brand for the shop - a pickup
Now we wait and dont want to phone back to soon to scare the lad off - so thursday I give him a call and he says still thinking but will give me a buzz a little later
Well later the call comes and when I see its Bryan I get that dreaded got to see the headmaster feeling
Turns out for the good as he says bring the bucks before he changes his mind
So its a mad dash to conclude the deal
All done Thursday 31 may
Friday organise trailer and the plan for the pickup on Sat
At this stage I had no idea what the bus looked like - One side of my brain is saying your %&&$*&$* Mad and the other trustworthy side is it will be as it will be
So you all can believe me that when I saw her for the first time in the flesh it was well worth the wait and not knowing
Many thanks to Bryan Osmond for having the faith in me to take over his project
Paul for the chats of encouragement and advise - Splitbusaholic for the nagging for the pictures and Bruce for the cold beer on the deckchair yesterday - that was most definately beter than the movies
A Thankyou goes out to all of the forum members that i will be calling on for advise during this restoration
Well one very happy camper up here in Grabouw and heres to getting this blue dream back on the roads
Awesome dammit
