Scoop..Ventura 842 After the accident

Post by Beno5120 »

Hi all,

As we know on the 12th of march Ventura 842 was involved in a rather bad accident infront of Knox City SC.

(Story Here http://www.busaustralia.com/forum/viewt ... =4&t=39833)

Here is the bus before the accident (Sorry about the poor quality shot)

Why does it have masking tape on it? Is that holding the side together?
Payback is a bitch, but is fun to watch.

Would've hated to be in that bus when it happened.
All buses I go on almost crash, like, the other day, whilst I was on route 88, the bus almost sideswiped a traffic signal and the bus stops. O_O

Wow, its amazing how quickly the managed to fix ol' 842. From the crash photos I thought it would take ages to buff out that damage to the body.

It'll be good so see my favourite old Mount Dandy Bus back in action. Here's hoping for a crash-free future. :D

Thanks for clearing that up. At first I thought you were being sarcastic by saying that 842 was fixed up, but was just sticky taped up.

Most likely to hold the glass in place while the bonding agent sets.

Without any inside knowledge, I'd be guessing that most of it was replacement panels. They're only fibreglass for that very reason.
