Had some spare time so decided to revisit a project. Permission to convert and release was given a couple of years ago. However, shortly after completing the original conversion, my hard drive was wrecked due to a lightning strike on a lamppost outside the house. So I had to start from scratch....

Car.ini file by Miura from Bumper's Leyland Leopard, slightly modified to suit the smaller bus.
The only things I can take credit for is the baked texture, texture file / paint scheme creation, sounds, and the conversion bits and pieces in general.

Background Info:
Popular around the World, the 0305 also was released in 'bendy-bus' form. In New Zealand, the engine, transmission and wheels were the only parts imported from overseas. Under license, the body was built to resemble something similar to that from Europe. I rode these buses as a child (1980s) and it wasn't until around 1999/2000 that they were taken out of urban service, due to new regulations about low-floor accessible requirements etc. There are many surviving 0305s here still being used as school buses. For the record, there are NO regulations for school buses in NZ. As long as they have a COF (certificate of fitness) and are road registered, they're fine! For example, the school bus I rode in at age 5 is still being used by the school I now teach at (http://***********/44zzoba)
