Yes, this bus will be original. I have been sourcing wood and fabrics to get started on the inside as well.

Just like the example below.

Amazing work Sean. You're the only person I know who uses a forklift to park your buses! :hangloose:

Excellent work Sean. This one is well on its way to making a full recovery. Like your rotisserie!

Thanks

Is that a trailer from the place around the corner at the garage ?
Seems quite low ? I previously had issues getting the beetle up on a trailer, once the front wheels are on the pan hits the trailer where the ramps connect. I need to take the beetle for touch ups, buff and polish soon.

Hi Donovan

No, its not from them. It belongs to a friend.

I do have a piggy back trailer or A frame if you want to borrow.

Thanks for the offer Sean, would rather stick to a trailer where I can get the car off the road.

When you request the next car trailer to hire, ask for the Tipper. Its also a car trailer but has a brake neck, so the entire trailer tips backwards instead of ramps. Much better for lower cars.

Chassis preparation done and primer applied. Since the westy came out with a grey painted chassis, I will be spraying it grey again.
