One hell of a lot of work but looks like it's in good hands :thumbs: What are you plans for the final look or is it top secret ;)

[Plymagrad]

Wow... A lot of work for a back garden project, but once you have done it to this standard you will know that bus inside and out. Good luck with it cant wait to see it complete.

[vdubwill]

WOW that is a project and a half

[BuggyJim]

You could get some good photos and measurements of the logos then get a good traditional signwriter to recreate them on the freshly painted bus...
