Watching from the UK, never got to drive an Atlantean here as passed my bus license years after they were retired them but will be watching going forward to see how this bus turns out. Love the sound of an Atlantean.
I remember the Atlantean's when they were at Ryde, Leichardt depots, not much chop going up the Gladesville Bridge in the peak with a full load of passengers. A lot of them ended up in Newcastle NSW when sold off, Lindsleys at Wallsend and Toronto bus company had some, where they used to do the steelworks shift change runs and school working. Hare Kishna mob had one all chromed up too based in inner Sydney. A lot of hard work ahead in the resto, good luck, and hope it all turns out well...
I'd like to thank the youtube algorithm for sending me your way. Really loving the content, and that is one fine Atlantean. Looking forward to seeing more progress on the build. All the best from the land of the Leyland, the RT and the Routemaster. Cheers mate.
Have enjoyed watching the Resto. Remember seeing these deckers when I went to Taree Catholic High School in the early 80's. A Forster decker was parked behind the then NRMA garage (Paff's) overnight between school run's. Keep up the good work Steve 👍. Dave

Where did you get the door rubber from?
it is an insertion rubber from the hardware. 1.5mm rubber, 200 mm wide 2 metre roll.
May I suggest getting the Milwalkie M12 battery rivet gun?
I will definitely be looking more closely at one of those for the next big rivet job!
At Nabiac
