A couple of pics of the progress so far. I had this G Delivered to me at 5am Tuesday morning with a half completed 606 conversion, it has to be finished by close of business 12th when I'm trailering it to Eddie Gilmartins meet up in Dublin

As an aside my lady, Barbara was really excited when i told her she was going away for Valentines Weekend :-)

Re: 606 Irish Conversion/Completion

All the parts are made and just need bolting on, we'll have time to do a few more jobs as well before it goes on the ferry,  I suspect this bus may be doing a lap or two of Eddies field as it will be driving but won't be road ready

Re: 606 Irish Conversion/Completion T - 8 Days

Two days to go and we've finally got it out of the door for the obligatory thash round the estate with no bodywork on.  

Now to button it up and get it on the trailer to Dublin on Friday,  I can see it doing a couple if laps of Eddie Needamercs  field.
