its all coming together! got lass than 2 weeks to finish the brakes, get the motor in, get the seats in, fit the shifter and rod and have enough electrics to actually turn her over! not worried at all! I am lucky enough to have the A team workin on her! the wedding pics will be all time! using 4 busses in the ceremony(as long as it doesn't rain)! gonna be great!

A massive thanks must go out to Krisko, Cappo, Jake, Dubhead and my fiance, mouse. startin to wonder what we gonna do when its finished? Time to find a window van for Krisko!!!

OK, So the wedding is over, and the dust is settling and we arrived back from the honeymoon yesterday arvo so a report is neccisary!!!
The wedding was great, and with the help of my mates,we got there!
I was up with Gaz, the original dub guru, til 11pm on the night before the wedding, getting the brakes and carby's and the gearshift sorted, before the big day. At 11, we took her for a drive and got a feel for the potential grunt the 1915 was putting out. including the straight cat cam whistle, and the sidewinder growl. very happy!
put her in the garage, had another beer with Gaz, and shut her down....
Then the big day, put the bumper on, gave her a rub down to get the last of the extra ankorwax off, put some old suitcases on the roofracks and turned her over to be sure......
no go...
Tried until she had no power in the battery... started to panic a little, as I was running around like a maniac getting everything else sorted! the boys turned up after a criuse with Scotty, bruce an dave and immediately got to work on my bus while I got the kids ready for the ceremony. The b\oys found very quickly that I simply had no fuel in her....
NUMPTY!!!!
They juiced her up and Presto tuned the carby a bit. She was not god enough to use ion the ceremony, so I walked to the Alter with my 3 boys and Amy and her posse turned up in Cappo's sweet 67 micro and Presto's Awsome 57 palm green/sand green!
After the ceremony, I drove Cappo's 67 back up to the shed and thought I'd give my 65 another go. Bang....she started and idled!! Quickly grabbed the photographer and my new wife and shot up the road for some pics!!! she's a friggin ripper and I'll be able to put a few pics up in the next few days. Very happy with the result and I will be really proud to share the pics with everyone! just gotta get em up!
hang in there.....I'm stoked with the result!!!

Congrats Josh...

Presto's bus is definately cool and a top bloke to boot...Ex.melburg lad..

Just noticed the cool rack...Its probably done more miles than the bus.

Cheers Tonz
