73 Bus Update
« 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


Heres the engine just aching to be put in.....


the outside is getting a thick layer of dust  ]:(


I'm hoping to get the transmission thrown in this long weekend too.

thanks for looking guys  :)

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

Have fun it looks great, are you keeping th 'highboy' suspension height?

Is it gonna be a passanger van?
