The under seal just scraped off very brittle easy job just boring.
The paints another story i wanted to keep paint like it is but the
wife wants shiny so shes getting here way and its getting painted
this week its not getting bare metaled so i guess i could get it back :?:
in reality the paint at the moment is so thin and through to the bare
metal in places and the bus would soon need painting or go propper ratty!

Passed at first attempt very chuffed. on the minus side the gearbox is a bit noisy and the steering is a bloody awfull this was tracked down to very stiff new ball joints.
