Thought some of you might be intersted to see how the The 'Project' is progressing... (at a slow pace).

Big thanks to Jen, Euan and TC for coming round b4 XMas and helping to refit my gearbox and engine in 45 mins :shock:

I'm afraid it's all turned into another case of 'just how far do you go?

Dave Futbus has been kept busy preparing my suspension components.....
All shot blasted/powder coated and waiting for new bearings/bushes.

Modified rear arms to allow greater choice of rubber :D :

Front uprights mod'd to take Futbus's brake conversion:

Oh and a nice little bit of 'Pop-tarting' to be done when the weather gets better.

So maybe sometime before the next millenium it might get on (shouldn't that be off?) the road and i can start having some fun..........

You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape; If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Body work now finished

I got the call early last week to say my bus was ready - so I was up on the first flight to Edinburgh, on Friday, to pick it up.
Big thanks to the guys at SyncroNutz for all the hard work and giving my bus a quality makeover. I haven't stopped grinning yet!!!

It's gone from this:

To this:

Next on the todo list will be the interior - though it looks like the gearbox will have to come out again and go to Aidan for a rebuild.

I've already had it rebuilt last year, for £700, by a so called Bristol 'speciallist' as it was popping out of 4th. It's done no miles apart from the maiden voyage from Scotland, and as soon as I got on the motorway........it popped out of 4th!! Had to hold it 4th for the whole journey back to Bristol.......even so - I was still smiling the whole way though!

Unfortunatly the only thing i know for definate is that the so called spesialist has give us and others a 100% failure rate.
This is unfortunate espesialy considering that they have taken more than
£3000 of 4 of us.
