First off I spent an afternoon cleaning the walls and ceilings in the bus, however there was about 7 years worth of dust that had blown in - I only really cleaned the front area when 2413 was transferred from Terrey Hills to Oakville in early 2010.
Then I started removing all the interior signs (decals)
Some of us don't have the time to remove decals before painting......
The decal that would have been applied during it's Corporate refurbishment
After which, I started to remove things that had been added since the early 1990's at least. The ticket machine post next to the cab and the drivers console stand. As well as the cab door alarm (probably the last modification added to 2413 in 2004) this was removed by following the wiring from the magnet switch that had been installed in the cab door stop, back around the cash tray and to where the squark box was located. I unscrewed the dash and followed the cable back to where it appeared out of the main wiring harness - as thick as your wrist with who knows how many wirings all bundled together. I cable tied the 'loose' wire to another cable tie and secured the dash again.
Here's the look of the drivers area after I had finished
Eventually I'll remove the cash tray and replace the STATS green machine cut out so it resembles how they were before the green machines were fitted - also the rubber on top needs replacing and thankfully that style is still available!
