Oh my.....

And particular attention to the door sill guards saying Rudd of Worthing.

Has anyone successfully swapped out the non-wood style dash board for the beautiful old version?

I'm put off by the change of colour though...

Thats a great colour and suits the 1800.
Changing the dash is fairly easy just the gauges thats going to cost.
I have a speedo, oil pressure gauge and the 'grasshopper' oil and water temp gauge.
May have a clock as well.
Personally though i would keep as is, perhaps removing the formica and replace with engine turned ally

Oh thanks Russ!

Couple of things though: firstly the guy who was going to buy my bus didn't, so I'm not quite ready. Oddly, after searching high and low for an original split-screen bus he went for a ended up with a bay window modified camper. Oh well.

Also, it's so far away and it was once yellow and there are a few things missing or wrong inside.

It's cheap.....

Really I want an old one.
