    Ahh, the better the job the better the end result I say! I will be away for that weekend in October unfortunately. Great advice Tim, I have another vehicle lined up for preservation, by the time it is withdrawn in a few years I'm pretty sure I'll have the money to buy and care for it! It is a...

    Restoration of KDZ 5805

    Re: help wanted please.. Hi Thylacine, all I know is that KDZ 5805 has had 9 previous owners. I can only remember it being owned by WMT, University Buses, a Preservationist and Midland Rider. It's going nowhere now I own it :)
