This is my RHD Aussie 57 (euro specs) panel.
picked it up just a couple of weeks ago. Won't take long to get it up and running, just need to slam it down and cruise on Very Happy

Nice ride. The owner before you... who was he following when someone decided to puke all over the bus? J/K. Good luck with it!

LOL at the puke, he he

It IS original paint on the bus and it is really straight and relatively rust free, only the cargo sill, one out rigger and a small amount of surface rust on the roof etc. The cargo and cab floors are in mint condition as is the front lower nose panel, those are the original semaphore in the bus that have not been conected in 40 odd years, they have no cracks or fading and are in excellent order from not being used (after market blinkers were attached).
Thanks for the kind words guy's

Cheers
Anthony

Wow, I am jealous! Very nice. It's cool that the semaphores are in good shape. Are you going to leave the OG paint?
