Still got a few that haven't been in public yet. 
And the new vehicle isn't going to be a bus. :msn4:

So then, with the Rapido 99% sold and not wanting another project, I collected this on Good Friday.

Just a little work required.
Plenty of leaks through the join where the fibreglass cap and aluminium skin and along with a rotten floor. So, out it all comes.
:lol:
Bit of welding required as well.

Oh yes. It's a long term purchase, so I want to repair it properly. Even if I spend £2k on the resto, it'll still be more cost effective than buying a 70's smoothskin that appears perfect.
A bit of repair to the steel skeleton required behind the gas locker, and some more to do on the chassis under the door.
The plan is to remove the floor, carry out the chassis repairs and repaint, and then replace with a ply, 25mm celotex, ply sandwich.
The gutter rail sealer strip is perished which is why there's so much water ingress. So that's to be replaced with a new insert.
The wall cavities with fitted with celotex and then renew the vinyl wallcovering.
A bit of tlc and repaint on the fibreglass roof cap and a new roof canvas. Renovate the units and job's a good un.
I've even got the 70's flyscreen.

Simon, if you want the vinyl matching let me know. Lyn knows about all that ****, many times has she told (bored) me what wall coverings are called!! She has a mate that still works at the place that seems to make every wall paperery stuff in the world.

Evening all, just a little catch up on all the bits I missed in the rush leading up to Ninove.
New rear lenses from Notch1500, half the price of Hella.

This kicked off a wiring fault that lead me all round the bus, and then blew the indicator relay. So one half the size was purchased.

Off to VolksWorld for the weekend.
I think I may have arrived a little early.
Still, got some refreshments on board.
Parked up with the traders in the car park Friday evening, had a kebab before and after a trip to the Bear.
Saturday dawned and the lineup is in a new location just outside the rear entrance to the halls.
Brilliant day, the sun came out and saw loads of faces old and new.
Saturday evening we parked up in the car park again,
and after a quick couple of beers, went into Esher for a meal before somebody found the cocktail menu....
Quick, roll onto Sunday morning. :lol:
Same place, not so sunny today though.
Cruised back down the M4 in the rain with Greg, Dave and Bondy in his split, this was after Rikki James' tour of Esher and surrounding environs.
Great to bump into friends old and new. Brilliant weekend again, and the lineup position was awesome this year.
