Discussion February
- Norman Julian 28th Feb
- Absolutely nothing to do with this project but I thought you might be interested in seeing a very rare relic.
- This is or was a Foden ex MO6069.
- These were taken at Dapto West in 1993.
- Ben Summers
- Very interesting indeed, Norman
- ! Jonathan Blackburn
- Ben Summers
- Your next project, Jonathan
- Jonathan Blackburn
- Ben , looks quite interesting but already have one with another two coming!
- Ben Summers
- What other do you have coming, aside from the Worlie?
- Jonathan Blackburn
- Ben I’m working on getting blue leopard 3869 down to Coota
- Ben Summers
- Oh cool! That will be awesome!
- John Clarke
- That has to be a Dooer-Upperer!
- Ben Summers
- If it's still around. Looks pretty run down here.
- John Clarke
- Ben Summers I'm mainly into antique aircraft, and I've seen far worse restored to flying condition!
- Ben Summers
- Fair point John
- John Clarke
- Ben Summers How's your Tiger going?
- It is a Tiger, isn't it?
- Ben Summers
- AEC Regal 4.
- Progress is steady, though I just bought two new O-Rings for it, as the one that goes around the top of the Fuel-Oil filter is shot.
- John Clarke
- Ben Summers Sorry, couldn't remember if it was a Leyland or AEC!
- Graham Inskip
- Ben Summers anymore photos?
- Have you got rid of the bullbar yet?
- Ben Summers
- Not yet, Graham.
- That's going to be professionally taken off.
- I am working towards starting it up before doing anything else on the body.
- Terry Davis
- Hi Norm as usual very interesting photos.
- Do you know anything of th he history ?
- I think Punchbowl had a Fodern decker but had it rebodied as s single, overcilly it's not that 1
- I know you are to hate but l like the WBBS colours ha ha imagine that restored next to your 1/2 cabin.
- John Clarke
- Actually, the colours aren't all that different to Hunter Valley Coach's deckers, apart from the black stripe.
- May be an image of bus, outdoors and text that says "HUNTER VALLEY COACHES NO8 5"
- Graham Inskip
- Probably just a pile of rusty dust by now...sham but I suppose they can't all be saved.
- Gregor Neil Robertson
- Graham Inskip
- I guess all the big heavyweight oily bits will be perfect - preserved by the bodywork above.
- Even the massive steel chassis may be ok
