 |
|
In October I picked up a Euro standard. The PO posted in the PGSG thread that he would be selling his Euro PGSG bus. Within minutes I made contact and worked out a deal. It has exchanged hands and it is here.
This bus is filthy and needs the treatment!!!
I can't wait to fill in the fried eggs and rear blinker holes!! I assume they were added when it arrived to the states. More to come..
Think this isn't a interior dome light?
Somebody used a screwdriver to remove the block off plate... 
OG dealer badges.
Starting the treatment.

I looked at your Bus at Bulli Brigade with a bit of envy. He offered it to me before he posted that as I was looking for another Bus but I couldn't come up with enough cash to pull the trigger.
I ended up with Bus I'm happy with and I know this one's in good hands now so it's all good.

Semaphore, very cool. Obviously PG/SGs are far superior to all other buses, and that is simply a "fair and balanced" perspective from an objective observer.

Thanks for the comments!!! The nose was pushed in about 3 inches..I used the good ole football trick and she popped right out.
Cleaned up the wiring to the fried eggs and rear blinkers. The PO had a switch mounted under the dash for the blinkers.. Notice the white features on this Jewel!!!!!
This bus needs the treatment!!

I purchased the bus with a 63 deluxe middle seat.. It will be in the classifieds shortly.
Non walk-through, originally came with a 2/3 middle seat.

I've known this bus for years and I'm glad it's getting taken care of now. It deserves the work you're doing to it. I love '58s and a Euro '58 just makes it better. Great job and keep it up!

Just saying, the dual taillights are kinda cool. Not like many add ins you see.
A little bug/Avatar/crossed eye though.
Very nice bus, thanks. |

Ha, I can honestly say I have never seen that before, sort of neat. |
me neither.
I think I am going to repair the 62-71 taillight holes on my 61, and add dual stock taillights like yours.
Except one pair will be amber, for the turn signals.
I'd leave them if I was you. |

The bus is getting more of the "treatment". Corey worked his magic this weekend. Thank you for the help, Corey!!!!!
The plan for this bus is to save as much OG paint as we can. Tim Stark (Stall20) sent down some OG sand green metal. I appreciate it Tim. Thank you!!!
Bus Buffer was in the mix!!!!!!!!!
