Oh you're too cool

Nice hoops too, use those drawings?

I was going to hold on to that motor when I sold that bus to Chris, as I knew he would probably put a big motor in....

Looks awesome man

pretty xcited about drivin it, just shows as well that it is og 12k miles, speedo an cable are still og ones, oil leak has come from engine, i have a feeling its the oil cooler, so once again, out it will have to come, unless i convince the blue slip man ill fix it afterwards... hehe

Durk, the hoops are repo ones that Derek Gregg makes, really well made, but havin troubles lining up the bottom holes, ill just drill new ones... in the tray.. haha

im goin to try for rego this week, if not, it wont be till after xmas...

Spent the morn doin fiddly things for the blue slip 2day.
Drove to the servo with no plates to pump up the wheels an fuel, pulled up next to a copper who drove away shortly after, paid for fuel an behold, the copper drove back in shaking his head, pulled up an asked what I was doin, so I told him,
Goin to get it blue slipped..
What? Like that?
Yep.
But it's full of rust.
Where? There's no structural rust in it.
After a license check he let me go. Haha..
Got to the checking station an passed with flying colors, after we located the chassis number anyway.. Haha
supposedly if I paint it, it will be worth heaps!! Well that's what I was told..

So passed blue slip, plates on it next tues when I'm back from holidays.. Super stoked now!!
