Update on DMS550 September/October 2008
I've managed to strip out the area around the old front doors so now 550 is a TWO DOOR bus again. Ive also cut a trap into the flooring at the rear of the lower deck to allow me to access the burned out wiring loom. A section of this has been removed and 550 is currently awaiting the new section to be added. Hopefully this will allow her to start and stop via the cab controls and also select gear (I HOPE). I've also put a plastic sheet over the large hole on the front dome for the winter too.
