Congratulations to David....
David needs Congratulating... Today his Leyland TD4 Bus passed it's Registration... Congratulations to you David!!
After 16 years of restoration David's Bus will hit the streets of Sydney on Australia Day this year... fully restored!
From when he stripped this bus bare all those years ago with the top deck suspended above it while he cut out all the rust... till today with it's shiny new paint job, it's new chrome gleaming, the smell of new leather on it's seats, the easy glide of it's windows to the ding of the bell, the marvel of the scumbling, the sexy lighting and the safest brakes of all TD4's in Australia... (actually his is the only working TD4 but he tells me the brakes are working better than they did in their heyday) David has never been daunted and has happily plodded along year after year and as you can see by this photo his hard work has been justified!! This bus was 70 years old last year and it's 50 years since it was in Service on Sydney's streets... come into the City on Australia Day for a free bus ride!!

Oh WELL DONE! It's been a privilege to see some of the steps along the way, but to see it finished is such a great achievement. Congratulations indeed!
(Has he got another bus lined up, Pennie?!)
She looks absolutely gorgeous, David. Congratulations on a fantastic achievement.
Hey David,
Well done!
This was obviously too easy for you though. Maybe you should really challenge yourself and for the next one one just find a bare axle in a paddock somewhere and start from there LOL.
Wot Pennie? No next one??? Don't think so! What now for the blokes' chantelle at our dinners????
