I just know the purest will hate it but I think it look great specially where they ported the exhaust to stop it being squashed and the new LED lights and wavey radiator grill :D

WOW!! Don't know about the back :( Loving how the exhaust has been done :mrgreen: As mentioned on FB Malcolm, only the (1) are ALL the remaining Oranas going to have this treatment. What about #20 (well ex #20) That wouldn't need much considering it's already been refurbished.

Grant loves the Scanias and is going to take one off at a time and depending on how bad they need it think old number 7 is next I think 20 would be last on the list :twisted:
The inside has only been cleaned just the outside make over

Looks good Malcom, only comments are not sure about the exhaust port and the rear window area, has that been filled permanently or is it removable panel that can be pushed out as a emergency exit? I like the LED tail lights :D All in all a good job.

Oh well Wilbur at least with the gutters dropping a couple gallons of water on the passengers at least they won`t need a shower when they get home. :mrgreen:
