The Prisoners Bus does me proud!!

[MurrayXmas]

Hi Folks here's some photo's of the ex navy prison bus i bought last week.I must say that i'm pretty chuffed with it ! Gonna do some work to it, already stripped out the front part of the cage and some seats. Gonna move all the seats up front and move the cage door part up to just behind the sliding door,then black out the back 6 windows and weld up some grills for the back doors and 2 small side windows.Leaving ample load room for motorbike,Drums,tools and those huge packs of toilet roll that you can't get on a bike

Anyone know off hand what shade of blue this is as i need some touch up pain for the (very) few rust spots!










Wil post more pics as i go!
Cheers Murray!

What are you going to use the cadge for?

As long as its not been ree sprayed in the past then if you log into Ford ETIS and type the registration no it will give you the paint code.
