Title: 73 Bus Update
Post by: trevor421 on May 21, 2005, 03:20:59 PM

Hi there, just thought i'd take some pictures of the van. I hoping to get it on the road soon, i never realized how much work it would actually take  :wacko: , but its still a lot of fun  :rockon: .

I wire brushed and cleaned up most of the bus already and sprayed it with undercoating.....man that stuff smells/ makes you high

I'm still putting in the interior panels, and have started to put in the carpet and speakers

Front end still needs some cleaning up, but the brakes and shocks are done

If you need a hand ask Dannyboy, he loves installing bus motors ;)

Is it gonna be a passanger van?

Hey guys thanks for the replies. why does the motor need to go in before the tranny Steveo? and im keeping it stock height (no more money  :( ) and its just going to have the rear bench seat in the back, no middle seat. thanks agian. :rockon:
