Where do I start ah, I brought my 69 bus 4 years ago from Kent it was located in a barn and had been resting there since 1992, unfortunately I don't have any of the first photos to put up as I've had a new phone since then and lost them. It's a 1969 campervan with full length elevating room I don't no if this is rare or not bit only ever seen one on a late bay, or is it just me?

I'm having trouble trying to put photos on.

That's great thank u it's backing up now, might take a while tho with 800 photos.

This is the oldest photo i've got im afraid, I stripped it and cut the front panel off as it was beyond repair due to someone running into a lamp post I think.
I've already changed the lower inner front panel and gave the whole front end with a coat of zinc spray.

The shape of the cab floor didn't really fit the shape of the new archies due to a few plates been welded to the floor before.

Think I've managed to sort out the no photo problem now.

There is a few things I wish I would of done differently now when I look back at these photos like I wish I would of put the two plates in rather than on around the two heater tubes, it looks abit messy . not that your ever going to see them tho ah, but I will no they are there.
