71 Bay Resto Custom

[ZedBed]

Your not wrong - I guess i will be camping on my own in the corner of the fields --- lol

As it happens, I think you'll find you're wrong and the vast majority of people, who have already seen a thousand imported beige shiney deluxe busses with roof-racks, coolers etc will flock to see something different. I will if I see you. Like it or not isn't the point - it's different - it has style. You know that mate - don't loose the faith.

This bus crosses so many boundaries and will offend lots of purists but I like it.

I particularly like the effort you've put into the creation. A true labour of love created by a talented tradesman.
