2017 shouldn't be a problem for you Especially how you Swedes pull them out from the sticks, put them together and get them on the road!!! I say you will be done in no time and enjoy driving it around before HO. Seems like you guys up in Sweden are a tight group and help each other out. That is a major plus. I'm also in the same position with 2 BD's just sitting! |

I've finally started with the chassis!
Would've been so much easier with a jig but with a lot of measurements it'll come out great! So exited to get the whole thing welded to the bus! _________________ Type 2 -53 smooth Gate SC (o\!/o) Type 1 -50 |o\ /o| Type 2 -55 Barndoor kombi

love it.
do all you Swedish guys have huge yards, huge sheds, trucks and heavy plant? nearly every Swedish thread seams to show big yards, big sheds and lots of heavy lifting gear. |
