I purchased Bertie in April. I fell in love with him without seeing him in real life & hit Buy It Now immediately on eBay! Haha!!! Bertie's before photos:
Booked onto an "Aircooled Workshop" at Midland prototype bay, for June. Hoping to learn lots for my journey with Bertie! Paint arrived from Avenue Coatings (BS18E49):
Pulled up the soggy chipboard in the back of the van. Really surprised it wasn't pure rust underneath. Go Bertie!
Out of curiosity, has it had a new engine lid fitted as its 1976 onwards (hinge style) and the corresponding hinge panel on the body?
Planning to roller it - been inspired by the hand painted group on Facebook Solid blue with a white roof & bumpers
Thanks, I like the exterior paint choices on the whole, but the paint is lifting in places and there's some minor bubbling that's been bodged over. So if I've gotta got back to metal, I might as well pick a new colour.
I did wonder if you’d not had it long. Good luck with your adventures and making the bus yours, keep the posts coming
