It's a beautiful thing isn't it?

The bus is a work in progress, been living in it for 8 years.
Bought it as a motorhome with a nice fit out, but a lot of work needed bodywise and elsewhere.
We have done quite a few mods to it as well.
If your interested the story is here https://www.facebook.com/dstinationunknown/

Fair warning, it's quite long and will take a bit of scrolling to get to the beginning.

Cheers,

WELL DONE INDEED...Gee you've had a real go on the beautiful bus ..She's going to be a cracker by the time you're finished . Had a good old scroll via your Facebook and can see she's in great hands .

There's a bloke here a bit like you . His bus is a Clipper and he bought mostly restored but has added a lot more to that and he's taken her , and his missus , to various places on mainland Australia already . She's a bit of a celebrity at our annual Car , Bus and Bike Show every June ..Except this year of course unfortunately due to an insidious little virus..

..Here's a clip of last years show done by a local car filmer . You'll see a snippet of Russel's 1950 I think former Ansett Clipper at about six and a half minutes as the presenter is talking to a XY GT owner is also a nice jigger..There were only two buses there last year but sometimes there's a nice few . Russel's is the blue one ..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKhhxnMSV_A&t=14s .. Here's a bit more about him in the local newspaper from a while back . Geez he loves his Clipper...https://www.examiner.com.au/story/24...ch-wheel-nuts/ ...thanks again for the Facebook link to your lovely bus .

Thanx Roddy, enjoying the journey with the bus, I am extremely fortunate to have a wife that loves working with me on it.

Love the old Clipper's, parked up next to one in a caravan park in Victoria one night, beautiful green one, had a chat with them. Love the old jimmy V6's singing away too.

Thanx for the links and info.

Cheers,
