Progress on the bus . . .
or lack thereof.
Shot up to Thames to check out progress on the fitting of the interior on Monday.
They've had the bus six months now, and progress so far is:
the floor has been levelled and laid,
the side panels from the driver's seat one side, and the door the other side have been installed up as far as the windows,
the seat belt mountings for the rear passengers have been made, mounted, and certified,
the toilet / shower cubicle is installed, but not finished,
the sink bench (with sink,) has been installed, but not finished,
the walls for the slide-out pantry on the l/h side have been mounted, but nothing else has been done to it,
the grey water tank has been installed, but not finished,
and arrangements have been made with a local sign shop to transfer the graffiti from the ceiling back into the bus.
Sigh.
At this rate I'll be trading the bloody thing in on a zimmer frame before it's even on the road!

Some mistakes are too much fun to be made only once.
I don't know everything about anything, and I don't know anything about lots of things.

Could it be a 10114182? If so, it is a Gen V 454, 4 bolt 1991 (or later). Hope that helps..
