Weird, maybe the 101 code was re-used or they made a typo?

That paint is going to look amazing cleaned up. Hopefully you do a build thread on it.

Just taken me about 5 days from start to finish of this thread! What an amazing amount of Mango busses!

I've just put a post up about the earliest Mango known out there out of curiosity.

Ribbed bumpers
Flat decklid
High tail lights

But how early is the earliest??

Cheers all.

Well this Wednesday I finally get my Mango bus back after breaking down 16/08/2022!

It went from not being able to afford a new engine to totally transforming my bus over 18 months.

Pics will follow as soon as its home and i'm happy.

This thread has got me inspired to finish it and use it.
