When we say "ours", we mean "ours", its a mates shed, we just use it, and a mate does work for us, and vw1963 does everyones brakes )well id like him to do mine), haha, and a place to hang...
After Gazza's ute hoping to get my 11 window in there...
Got tims bus and a few others lined up, works well, while our mate is working we have a place to call ours, have a few buses ready for valla and some after that...

Tim, is that mango green or beryl green?
And I would've though the drive train is obvious - cut out the torsion tubes, cut the cargo floor and butcher in an old Holden 243 V8 with a Salisbury diff and live rear axle with leaf springs.
Can't get more vintage than that!
Seriously though, that's a nice bus.
How much rust and where?
What year?
And are you going to go later model oval tail lights or 2 little ones either side?

How could you mention such a thing? I would only use a ford 9" diff.
Beryl Green/Nimbus White
Rust sills/front apron/battery trays/front floor/bits of the cargo floor/passenger dogleg gone/some outriggers and jackpoints.. so pretty much the bottom 10 inches!
gonna stick with the oval lights, keep original..
also got some original 15" rims to throw on.. these are 14"

Sounds good......far more tyre options.frenzix wrote:also got some original 15" rims to throw on.. these are 14"
Will it end up in the weeds?
And what suspension.....K&LP or BJ up front, drop spindles, narrowed adjustable beam?
IRS or straight axle in the back or will you keep the redux boxes?
Oh, and how is the interior.....all the seats there or just the front or none?
Cheers & God Bless

No, but nicely low

More than likely a 68-69 ball joint beam w/ later discs.. adjstable.. not narrowed.
IRS or straight axle in the back or will you keep the redux boxes?
IRS suspension, but will go back to wide five pattern.. want to flog it on the freeway, plus it's mainly for the little lady.

Just the front seat is there,
But I have a bay middle and a bay rear that will be covered to look splitbus like..
