the lady that sold it just wanted to get rid of it and thought i was a nice guy. all it needed was a little rust cut out of the steps, 2 new tyres,
tie-rod end and new oil cooler o-rings. i was pretty stoked and it hasn't cost me too much since

Split busses are nice, very nice.
Although it is economically easier on the pocket to have a Curvy 
window bus.

i'm wanting to re-do the interior. not a full $2000 resto, just to get it looking nice and feel comfortable. at the moment it has the middle row
of seats taken out. this is great as i dont get asked to drive a load to the beach and i can carry things in it.
I am hoping to line the floor with charcoal marine carpet, the front kickboard and around the front seats in black auto carpet, and cut out new panels
out of ply (the old oned have some holes and have warped badly) and cover them in black vynal.
i would appreciate any feedback or comments on what you have done or what you think i should do.:sandrine
