cheers mate!
Ive decided to go almost full stock standard with the restoration. ill eventually get it fully re-painted (in the correct colors of course), I'm a fan of the pristine finish over original paint finish, but at the moment, ill fix up the chassis to get it road worthy, strip the yellow and white paint, and drive it around a bit  chassis doesn't need much work, just the usual really. i don't have a lot of time on my hands at the moment though as its my last year of university, so just doing the small jobs on it when i find time |

If the og paint underneath is in nice shape, I plead with you to preserve it. The bus looks to be in great shape, and OG paint would set it over the top! Either way, great bus, congrats!

There was a small PGSG line up at the Ben Pon meeting in the Netherlands last weekend. Unfortunately mine is not in it (still in the garage waiting to get finished..).

| My 55 is slow on the go! All my fault. I am in pre A mode,frame table is almost finished,just bought the deluxe cobra dhc 2000 kit,metal from Steve Hogue due soon. The game is on! I need to finish up the pg-sg. Close,very close. Not enough time it seems. Still have two early dcs on the spits waiting to be turned and burned. |
