Nice shots there, I especially love the shot of 820 Bustech Volvo B7RLE, on my recent trip to the Gold Coast I noticed alot of early Bustech bodied vehicles had had those plastic Bustech VST panels fitted up to them which is probably to do with stopping the lower fibreglass stretch panels getting chunks ripped out of them on gutters and things as I have noticed a few damaged sections on the offside of Fearnes MO 4986 Mercedes Benz O405NH. I would definetely have to say that the VST plastic panels look quite nice on the earlier Bustech bodied vehicles and look great painted white or grey.

Who can say? They do look good though.

One thing I am keen to see is one of the Autobus Mercs done up.
