finished the bus

[strongy]

the bus is about done,with only a few small bits needing to be done i thought id put some pics up,most of you have prob seen these spread over the forum but i thought id put them in 1 place.its took me about 3 years to carry out the resto,the bus is no show winner but im quite happy with the results and proud that ive done the whole bus myself with no outside help,it just shows you can do a fairly good job with a bit of determination and alot of cash :lol: oh and help and advice from this place.....thanxs to every one thats helped with knolage and hard to find parts :mrgreen:

i hope this helps to inspire fellow home restorers :mrgreen:

What tyres do you have on your BRM's?
I've got a lowered '69 with BRM's and am having trouble with tyres sizes on the rear.

Did you do the interior yourself? Very impressed if you did
