We've had Bertie Bus over 2 years now, she looked pretty good when we got her but now the rust and filler is showing through and she's gradually falling apart. We purchased most new parts from 'Just Kampers' and are having them welded on by our local bodyshop where they will also be doing the respray, have given Garry a Red Bull tin can (to copy the blue/purple metallic colour from)!
