After working on it off and on since last july(typical stuff, new brakes all around, steering box, POR15 on the front floors etc), the bus passed with flying colours today! :band1:
Have to tune it and sort out a running issue(ugly flat spot off the line when off choke, either vaccum leak or related to 009), get some proper tires, change the tranny fluid etc. But other then that, I'm pretty excited! I do have plans for it, but it will be next year as I will be busy with going back to school for a year. I took it down the street to take some pics off Beach Ave:

Congrats! I hope to join you soon as my bus needs an out-of-province inspection.
