The Crashed Bus is Painted

The crashed bus featured earlier in this Blog is now painted and looking great. There is no way of telling this bus has had a major front-end collision. We are in the process of putting everything back on to it now - quite a big job. Just so it can stop next time we are going to fit 14inch CSP Brakes before it goes back to its owner

More brakes! The '59 is also having a set of CSP Brakes and a twin circuit master cylinder. These early buses have no seatbelt mounts - this one now has. We have gently peeled back the interior metalwork in places and mounted heavy-guage spreader plates and captive seatbelt nuts. We then weld everything back up and bingo - we can fit belts. No point in showing you pictures, Sams welding is so good you can't see whats been modified.
