HI Grant,
Nice to hear from you. What a pleasant surprise. trying to restore it back to original condition(as much as possible). Is the headliner original to the bus of have been changed at some point of time? I need to admit that the bus only need a full body spray , the rest is not much of a hard work all has been well done during previous restoration works.
Pls do share some of your memories
cheers |
