Hi Guys,
I hope you don't mind someone from up north joining your site, there is nothing as specific as this up my way. I thought it best to post some photos of my project to date before I started to ask for advice and some bits and bobs as below. Originally purchased from Geelong in Feb 2016, I drove her around for awhile under full knowledge of what was coming up.... Off the road, new floor pans and other rust areas all but removed I am nearly ready to paint her back to her original glory. Everything appears to be original, the seats and trim will be as close as I can get it including vinyl seam welding from Supertrim in Coburg. Will upload the interior when it is assembled if anyone is keen.
Her nick name is Dotty, named after my wife's Grand Mother Francis Beatrice who was known as " FB" or Dotty.
Cheers
Andrew

Welcome to the forum and thanks for sharing the photos Andrew. She is a great looking bus. I love green Holdens. Looks like a thorough job being done and I'm sure it will be well worth the effort. Plenty of good information and inspiration on here. All the best with Dotti.
Cheers

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.
