That is some serious extraction equipment! Bravo!
Looks pretty good, as Swedish hunting cabin barndoors go...

X2 on the ladder, that is awesome. Cool bus! Save that paint if you can.

Nice bus, very cool to still have all that OG paint, sign writing ladder.

I remember seeing this bus in photo's a little while back on this thread.

Don't worry, I will save the OG paint and blend in where I've change the metal :lol:

There's 5 known MoDo buses. I know 2 i Sweden and one was sold by Björn but I don't know to who and where. Would be awesome to make a reunion with all 5 buses :D

This bus is the sixth youngest known BDn in the world actually, and better yet the 1000 final manufactured BDn! This has the 116902 and the world's first 56 has 117902!

Why don't you just put the photos here on TheSamba? I don't want my grandchildren complaining about missing pictures 40 years from now.... :lol:

Thank you! I didn't find it :)

Such a cool bus, that ladder with the timber kick strips is ace!

Tue May 06, 2014 5:53 am

A LOT of parts missing thought. Will be interesting to see how long time it will take to find all parts that I will need :lol: Front beam fixed of course and some other parts!

They've cut the bulkhead to be able to go back from the front I think, bad for me :( Gerson doesn't sell any bulkheads right now, can't find them?

a big order will be sent to KF when I have inspected the bus and when I know all the parts I need! Won't be cheap :lol: :roll: I hope I get a short shipping time!
