The new bus
Posted: Thu Mar 21, 2013 8:32 pm
We took the plunge today. Finally after much deliberation we have just plumbed for... and purchased our new addition to the family. It was a tough decision as the bus is down in SA and we have bought her blind. As your read this she is being towed up to NSW by one of the members on this very forum.
The bus is a 1962 Dormobile Kombi who has spent the past 22 years with her former owner and this afternoon ownership has been passed on to ourselves. She hada new engine fitted 14 years ago and after driving it back to its home there it stayed until today. It hasn´t moved in 14 years and the owner religiously turned the engine over by hand. It´s all there with some slight modifications but the original items have been kept and supplied in the sale.
I´ve bought a new master cylinder and back wheel masters, new soft brake lines, fuel lines and a new fuel filter. I´m just wondering in your wisdom, in hind sight. If you had your time again and your bus was to arrive tomorrow. What would be your first line of attack.
