Has to be the black, bought the paint yesterday.
But the red and white in that pic does look good. And you Bugger, white or the black ?

Mine wont be doing actual duty like your will so I like the white but for duty black will be easier to keep "clean"

Cool projects,,,just for interest sake,how many fire ''buses'' is there in sa/gauteng,i havnt seen any before,if theres not a lot its pretty cool,cause then youve got something diff.

I have never seen one in SA before

I have heard of one up north but that was sold but also just rumors till I see one with my own eyes

Still looking.....found this one but not reasonable price.... R3,500 plus postage and packing

Thanks Frank but keep an eye out for the blue one

WOW! That '63 bus is really nice. I'm sure it was also at the Mint for the 75th Beetle anniversary? Very cool Pierre Good luck with the project

ill go around to this chappie in this week.
the light arm gadgetdoes not look as if it would fit onto the roof but rather acts as a side mirror and warning light. ill see if i can get a better pic.

Eventually got the left front and center floor section cut out from a donor fot the feuer
Now I basically only need the cargo door side outer and inner rocker panels
I am just still waiting for the rainy weather to calm down before I will take the body for Sand blasting
So Progress is slow

I also got a Quote from a good friend for the Tyres I want to use on the feuer
Dunlop N 700-15 the hight is 762mm Will it fit ???

I have mesured my 15'tyres on the red and white splitty and the hight is 630mm

It wasn't cheap either

Dutch have you had a look for the switch yet ??
