Fab bus Stu, and I'm glad you've kept the stock interior.

I was up in Harwich a few weeks ago, and spotted an identical one to yours parked at the ferry terminal. Must have been a SA bus too, as it was RHD and the same colour. I had to double check it wasn't yours!

Cheers mate, i've only seen a couple in the same colour before.

Moved the brake pipe brackets finally and replaced the pipe as it was just fouling the steering arm on full lock, next is a full service at my mates place - Kustom Dub Werks, then i'll crack on and notch the rear

Cheers fella, just hope people arent disappointed when they see it as the body work aint perfect. Seriously considering restoring the body and respraying it in a year or two when ive got a bit of space.

Hope the paint holds on I think its the same colour as mine and you don't see too many like them, but as you know there is no way of finding out exactly what the paint code was on a SA bus.

Always enjoy reading your thread and looking at the differences between your tin top and my camper westy

Ive had paint matched by eye in the past by my local paint suppliers and its come out pretty much spot on to be honest, so fingers crossed i wont have too much trouble if i decide to respray :mrgreen:

Always love looking at your bus Stu. It's almost identical to my old bus apart from the extra ventilation up top http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=6927. I always believed the colour was L563 Safari Beige - I've seen a few OZ buses with the same colour.
