Hi,
Nice work on the resto, love the old photos of the BD.
How have you lowered the front, have you used the og BD beam?
Thanks |

I love the way this bus looks in the last pics, didn't want to quote all the pics, but I think they look the best right the way this one does now. Unfinished and lowered with polished rims, I don't know why maybe it is a hint at its potential or something.
