to pause the rust process do they put some kind of rust proofer on it then just clear coat it ??

Randars are an essential part of the rats complex
diet of rust preventitive, severe dumping of suspension i think in my view and for Helbus i would like to believe a nice BIG SHINY motor to
match the WHEELS "OH HOW I LOVE RANDARS":party

that, people, is pure unadulterated evil. one of the meanest splits i've seen, hope it has the balls under the hood to match. splits looks awesome as rats, what can i say.

today the mercury is sitting out side and its snowing....;) we got it features in nov 2003 volksworld.. we bought it from nor-cal, as soon as she came over i coated her with 2k clear coat, put on semi dry, she is now due in to get all lower panels put on and blended in, we have been trying to source only nos barndoor parts (anything in oz?) a phat motor has just been built at taylor machine services... which should get well into the BWA required drag times, bar the sills, its amazingly solid, it has all new running gear throughout, i have driven her hundreds of miles to shows, she's great, people just want to touch the rust???

mercury shoved in the corner awaiting prep

When I saw this bus for sale on the samba I was seriously thinking about buying it but I didnt want to take the gamble (could of been a total basket ) also I didnt recon the bank manager would of thought of it as a sound investment. still its a great bus watch that salt air!!!

Can totally agree this bus rocks, when it was at one of the shows over here it was parked by the entrance and everyone that went by stopped and uttered the imortal words "What the f**k is that all about" big smiles on their faces :D
