It is always fascinating seeing a split bus, particularly the barndoor bus, being salvaged from oblivion. I just hope, one day, I can have my Barndoor barn find herein the Philippines! I guess it is next to impossible. Keep up the good work buddy! Cool one!

I think og paint buses are great, logo buses even greater, but at the end of the day, the owner of the bus can do with it what he wishes........if people are so concerned about an og paint/logo bus being "destroyed", then those people should seek the bus owner out and buy said bus at whatever the cost.....

Looking for the LIKE button! Looks great even though I really do like og everything... Not all buses/owners are meant for that.... Rust, preferences whatever...

BRILLIANT !
I like all the OG factory colors, but you just gotta love a color combo like this.
It shouts '50s'. Doing this bus justice . Great !

It does look good in those colours, and it definitely needs the logos putting back on.

Good work
