.... Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Romans 6.23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

I don't think it is particularly that young people are fixated with phones. In today's Britain, they are taking a hell of a risk. Scottish Police would bang you up for J Walking never mind driving a 30 year old bus home with issues. Good luck to them. But it's wrong to say young are on their phones, it's not 1955 and when traffic Police on the M6 intercept it could turn into nasty fines or far worse.

Classic and military vehicle ownership is on the decline for younger people massively due to the cost of them being charged by the older generation. Costs are significantly higher than when they bought into it. Just look at photos of the age of club members. There’s no young people.

I love how all the armchair experts like to criticise the way you did things, but if you get the job done, the bus is in one piece and not broken and no one got hurt or killed and you were not arrested ,impounded or stranded then YOU DID IT OK. well done.

I loved every moment of that and it was interesting to see underneath. I'll be honest I was worried about the leaning but it's great to see you sorted it. How you all were determined I don't know as it required a lot of patience 😊. Good choice of bus to purchase 😊. Edit: So sorry I accidentally clicked on the thumbs down!

Go on lads ... can't wait to see it restored.......

Superb video.

The body work, both inside and out, looks to be in very good shape, then again, it's a 1996 model and not 1976. A good tip, before hitting the road is do a full mechanical prep, checking for any leaks (fuel, air, lights, air bags, as it has a lean to the right and low at the back, plus water) and dodgy belts etc with the engine running for at least 15 minutes prior to setting out. It runs well on the road, so good luck Ben with spending your hard earned cash on the restoration project...have fun!😉
