    Hey all,

    New owner of a rust bucket aka '73 Bay.

    Always wanted one and always wanted a bit of a project - so now have both!

    Got a good deal on the price so am fully (he says now!) aware of the work needed to it.

    Will be getting the body work sorted asap - lots of welding!

    And have started stripping the interior out

    No worries.

    If you ever want to compare buses, look at mine to see how things "should" be, or just borrow some tools/books, give me a shout.

    Hello and welcome from the depths of the New Forest. Looking forward to following your progress, make sure to start a resto thread ( if you haven't already) and stick up loads of before, during, and eventually after photos. :)
