Picked up my bus from mates place who did the rag install
Over the moon with how it’s come up
Dropped my bus of at my other mates place to do some gearbox and front mounted oil cooler mods
Also played around with a couple of wheels for shits and giggles
While the bus has been away I’ve been playing with door tops and pop outs and engine lid and rear valance
