Shows how vital the right contacts are with these old timers. Very specialist knowledge needed at times, especially as there's less and less as time goes on. Even an old car can be hard enough.
I'm a just retired coach operator in the uk, l owned and loved my Leopards. A joy to drive with the gb 350 ,went to DAF ,fantastic coaches,we operated tour's to Spain and Europe but l called it a day at 76 years old after 52 years of driving and repairing!
Hot Diggity Steve, Welcome Back! I literally just sat down with my cup of tea & boom 💥 Steve Stuff rolled in. Such a tremendous amount of effort you have put into her. Sparkling in the sunshine & the interior looks fabulous! Well Done 👍🏻 Love ❤️ your work Steve 🙌🏻🍻
It could be the exhaust valve in the ped so al weeping mate. Sounding sweet though. My mate Paul Goldtnotpe has a 1975 AN68 with the pedestal shift, that was rebodied when 2 years old after an engine fire, it is a Roe body with National bus poppy red livery, regd MUA865=c and it lives at Dewsbury bus Museum alongside my old 1981 National 2 XUA73X. Take care mate
Wonder why the bus was put in such an awkward spot to get to in the 1st place? Wonderful job you are doing Steve, you have such patience, I would be cursing and swearing, but I wouldn't give up. Would have to make my video R rated. 🙂
Hi steve hope you enjoyed your trip to the USA, would you go back for another trip to USA. Paint job you've done is amazing job the ceiling you've paint really come up well, also the chrome piece in the cabin window is great finish it of another piece done. the engine sounds really awesome, the drive and gear change looks really smooth. Great Guy Steve
Welcome back Steve!! Awesome work on the bus getting those doors sorted. I'm about to do a Resto on one of my gear shifters that colour, is that, a royal blue?? That's what they used, and that Brown, wonder if I have to get that paint made up? Can't make my mind. I don't really have any of that paint left on any parts . Still sounds like a Leyland 😂. Was good of scott to help, 👍👍👍
Hey mate Welcome back to Aus. I noticed a slight rattle upstairs behind where the camera was mounted. May have been the poles on the window, one of those may have been loose. Other than that it sounds fantastic. Hope to catch up at BUSFEST. Cheers. 👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙
Isn't the internet a wonderful thing. The "it works" is such a great feeling. Love the onboard ride.
cheers!

The bus is looking great and sounding really good too.
Hope you got the paint match code because this time is far better than the last in you got.
Great work Steven, I'm enjoying the updates of your work on 1101!

not sure what the colours are called, but they are not the same in every bus!! Fading etc. Best to get a colour match where possible
