Thanks, thats nice...Going to be talking to you then...i was pleasantly surprised at how little rust is on the inside and floors. The outside has some surface rust and only found one spot that has a tiny hole on the passenger floor.

Bus is from the Free State so expected not too much rust.....

Let me know if you have bits for it...

Early bus rear bumpers - hells bells - if you are missing one, yes, very hard to find.

Please post some interior pics of your bus .......

Thanks Retro....I suppose there are few split buses around but thing is finding ones with minimal rust not so easy anymore. I will post pics of the build. We managed to get a full IRS suspension incl disc brakes etc, plan to remove the current suspension and install the IRS and discs....will post pics of that build. Will probably need assistance from Bugger for the rear install....
