The paint job looks great!! What colour code is that? It looks very much like the colour of my Autosleeper. I got some mixed as I'm about to paint mine but it looks lighter than the original colour. Yours looks much closer to the Autosleeper colour so I'd be interested to know which colour it is.

Cheers,
Tim.

Dont forget, both of you and the dogs are welcome for a visit when you have the time in September.

Good luck and Happy Camping.

Thanks Phredd, i know its a bit different from when we picked it up and a few things have changed, but i hope ive given the old bus a few more years of use. When we pop over ill try and arrange it for a weekend in north Wales. Im sure the beasts will love that.
Ive still got most of the interior to do yet, its been a long hard slog, not helped by the rubbish weather, See ya both soon.
