Re: 59 Deluxe Microbus Samba
The bolt was persuaded by the pole and spanner. I did use penetrating spray and a flame on previous day decided that force was better.
The bus still has one semaphore in it but the second one is missing. I found a set it tne US and it on the way..... Cant wait

Re: 59 Deluxe Microbus Samba
LOOK, If you want to keep this orgasmic experience to your self......we under stand....... 
But think think of this, if you do not place photo's here, we will all have to come and see it, and we will be drooling all over it, placing our sweaty hands full of KFC all over it, smudging the windows, filling the inside, with Splittyfiles, which you will not be able to remove until they has their way with her.......
So, do you not think its better to place photo's......
You have been warned.....
