3697 finally being pressure washed

The day has finally come as on Saturday 18th July myself and other enthusiasts have helped done the pressure wash inside and out. Seat Cushions were removed for the steam clean and also gutters were cleanned and also the roof was pressure washed.

Restoration will pause until the Parkers remove the back window to repair rust and also replacing and putting in new pop ribbets the bus should start painting in the next few months.

Due to the 20th Anniversary of the Mk2 Leyland Leopard withdrawn from Government Service 1746 will start restoration as early as next week so it can attend the tour that we hope to have in October to mark the 20th Anniversary of the withdrawal of the Mk2 Leyland Leopards in Government Service.

The Rubbing Back Begins

On the 1st July 2009 Sanding and rubbing back Fibreglass Panels have started and also more interior work has been done like Sanding parts of the ceiling checking for rust and vacuming and cleaning seats.

The Next update will be on the 18th July as we take the bus out to be pressure washed to have the roof prepaired for sanding and hopefully there will be photos on the next blog. I hope to have the Bus painted in the next few months .
