hi all
i thought i would put some pictures of Toby up, the paint job is not great but not to bad, will do it proper paint job in a couple of years when i got some space, all in all it didnt cost me that much , well i have spent around a $800 thats with rego/ paint/door seal driver and other side/eye lids/ indicater lenzes cant spell , some wood and black plastic cover and some other things, runs well and kids love it, take it fishing and to the beach i love it lol it does need some welding but have got a welder now so will have a go some time soon, it only needs it on the roof , but its quite abig hole but it does not leak any water so ok [img]

for what you have spent and the pics shown, your bus looks fantastic. Even if you dont have heaps of $s to spend on bus, a bit of paint makes it look nice.
My paint job only cost about 11 rattle tins.

yes i did it my self, but not sprayed , i wish it was a propper job , but i used a paint roller on it lol ,
it looks good from a distance and in the dark , looks ok close up , depends on what you want it for , i use it for fishing and beach and some camping soon , i will give it a couple of years before i bring it back to bare metal and spray it ,

yes all made by me , my mate got the wood and some brown edging and glue and i did the rest , easy to do , made a few wrong cuts but in the end it went well , put extra power points in and made the panels and lined them aswell , have made the canvas for the pop top , it looks ok but looks good at night lol , had to put a new spring in the pop top , that was a pain , but works well now , put volt metre in and oil temp stick in and lots more things , just got some welding to do and then i can re cover the inside with a nice black and white pvc/ leather lineing , when you start messing you cant stop lol
