Newbie - grantham/stamford/peterborough

Post by presland123 »

After a few year restoring my splitty bus, took the plunge and brought a part finished speedster project (speedster clinic). Planning to do it up for my mum and dad, for them to enjoy for a few years (although my wife is now thinking about selling her beetle convertible and having this for herself) :lol:

Hope to collect within the next week and will post up some pics.

If anyone around my neck of the woods has a speedster they wouldnt mind me having a nose around and ask questions (lots buzzing around my head) could you let me know.

Here's my keeper. 65 ex swedish schoolbus which we use whenever we can.

Plenty of blood, sweat & £'s pumped into this and the final stage of the tidy up will have to wait.........

Take your dirty replica to Donnington and I have have a nose around it and take some photos to help me work out how to do mine 8)

Not sure whether me and the wife need 4 cars between us, so depending on the cost of the speedster the bus may go in time :(
