Well with some room now in my garage, finally doing some work on my bus to make it a bit more relaxing to cruise. Losing the baja bus look, but not on it guts ...yet. Still want it to be practical yet not a nose bleeder. Currently got the rear end out & fitting bay running gear. L' Bug box etc.. Front end will remain K&L with adjusters fitted to beam, spindles etc.. hopefully on the road ready for a trip up North Coast with Animal at Easter. More pics to follow as we progress.
Next time

Got the rear of back together, took it for a spin...wow what a difference. From driving stock for the couple of yrs to this. Can't believe took so long for me. Being a chippy also quite proud of my efforts. Doing a couple of hrs after the kiddies went to bed every night. Got it sitting quite low at the moment and felt quite rigid. Want comfort by a friggin Avalon!
Love a good tink

Now the front awaits.

Got the front end out today (another cherry). After the shift rod problem was sorted all quite simple for a 1st timer. She was well packed with grease. LOTS of rags needed. Upper beam had a few broken springs which will need to be rectified before assembly. Hopefully cruising 1-2 weeks.

As I said, thats phat man! How fun is jacking it up to jack it up

May find you need some narrower rims to clear your dogleg once you take it out for it's maiden hover....

Got her on the road, so good to be cruising closer to ground. Nice ride with some legs. Definate beats driving a stock bus for the last couple of yrs. Can't wait to get up the coast now !

Well finally got sick of driving round without the wind blowing through my hair, so after a long time waiting, she now flows. Just not through my hair though. (The wife's)

For the record ending up fitting Creatives. Ordered through Busstop, arrived next day. Great service.
