I must start to say that this is Alex "Jesus" fault that I have got in to these cars and no longer bugs. So thanks for that Alex  Angry Wink

So this is my project for the winter. I must say the bus is better then it looks... I have no guideline yet how it will look in the spring, so if you have some good ideas please share with me.

One big question I have right know is for the side door as you can see on the pic. Is this original or not. If not them have done a hell of a good work i must say!

For the moment I think I will have the car as it is, just lower it and have fun... If I will find the charge problem to the battery, perhaps I will come to SCC in it....

Nice to hear I've been persuading people Grin

I've never seen door's like that, do you know where the bus was manufactured, oddities like that tend to come from Brazil or South Africa,

The people over on

are very friendly and knowledgeable!

That's a Brazilian me thinks , a friend of mine had a brazilian taxi bus that was very similar to that with two split doors on the side both opening the same way with a pillar between them .
It had a very cool air-conditioning unit fitted down through the center of the roof too , with 23 window samba style rear door and curverd glass and small split style windows down the sides .
 A king and link front beam with a mix of reduction box and IRS rear end . It looked very odd with a bay widow front end and cab doors .
Wish I had some pics of it  Embarrassed the bus was so far gone , i think he broke it , may still be there .
