thanks oldenstar, i think its a good looking bus too when i saw it i said that it would not look out of place as a mh with the big window up front.

bigfoot you can now view picks on the site my mate got his finger out after i told him how many hits the site had got....

Rapide561 thanks for mpg facts its good for the size of bus when i drove it back i put £125 in the tank which seemed never to fill and i think it used half of it wolverhampon to doncaster 80 mile is.... but that was doing 53mph i rev clack was in black if i keep in at 45 mph then it will be in the green on the clock maybe then i should get better mpg.

If you need any seats - like coach seats - but better - like the ones on Siesta coaches, let me know. I know where there are some for sale.

You can see the style of seat by clicking on Siesta Holidays website and looking at the ClubClass seats.

Hi Garry,just to say I will be following your progress Laughing

As a self builder if you need any advise/help let me know I am only 7 mls from Donny.For the moment the best advise I can give is take a trip to o'learys at Beverly and buy half a dozen boxes of Polyseal 101 & 102 before they sell out at £20 a box(12 tubes) this is comparible to sikaflex which is anything from £5 to £12 a tube.You will use lots Laughing

maddie please explain what do i need sealent for?

maddie

Hi Garry it is not only sealent but also glue/fixing stuff that will stick just about anything to anything there-by not needing to have screws etc on show,it has v/good grab properties so holds on contact.But hey I am not saying you will have to stick wallboards etc, you may have decided not to use any but from my experience I stuck everything in sight Laughing

and nothings fell off Laughing

i thought about the safety factor and thye cost, so i'm now going to build the framing and get it upholstered now plus it will look better......

i saw a optare delta in Lincoln on a service run i thought they were all replaced by newer buses now... there is still life in the old dogs lol.....
