| Don't be in a hurry to clean up the outside paint. I think the patina looks wonderful -- seriously! Clean it up inside, and get the mechanicals done, then drive it as it is for awhile. It would be eye-catching. |

I agree, it has a rather funky cool look about it. Anyone can have a HOC paint job all that takes is money. This takes time and nature. No one else will have a bus like that. |
