Sorry, missed this one ...

"Do you mind giving me a run down of what you are going with for your complete drivetrain and suspention including brakes?
Just interested to know!

Thanks"

Engine : 2332cc from CB Performance
Gearbox : CB Performance gearbox
Brakes : Rear are drums, front are CSP wide 5 disc kit
4" Wagenswest narrowed beam
Creative IRS and rack and pinion steering
Gene Berg shifter.

The bus will either have brand new gear or original parts fully restored. Some of the original stuff was too far gone or wouldn't/couldnt be fixed up to the standard we wanted.

Brad from busnbug is doing the interior. Will look identical to the year.
