| 1974 FMC Motorcoach 2900R #477 |
Our coach was produced in November 1973. In
2006 we bought it at MotorCoachRestorations,
Illinois. It was a low milage very original complete
coach, but with a lot of damage from leaking, age
and sitting unused for a lot of years.
The coach had some initial repairs and
maintenance done by MCR before me and a very
good friend went over and drove it from Illinois to
Port of New Jersey. The coach was then shipped
across the Atlantic.
We had an interesting trip and you can read more
about this experience in the #477 thread at the
Fmcowners.com forum.

Since we got the coach to Norway we have
spent a lot of time and effort on restoring it.
By now it has a all new steel floor structure
and a exterior fiberglass repair witch has
brought it back to original gelcoat finish. The
complete roof has been redone in a sandwich
construction also. Now this summer 09,
attention is on redoing the whole el system
and getting the rest of the interior back in.
Outside is almost finished.
There are just to much to list here now but my
goal is to do a complete restoration report on
the #477coach later at this site.
Since the start I have been posting updates
and pictures in the FMCOwners forum and
there are more than 200 pictures in the
gallery. I will continue posting updates on FMC
Owners.com.
