got into work at 5:30 this morning, sanblasted the remainder of the front end bits and gave them a lick of jam, I still can't get over how much of this car is still genuine bits including the hub seals, the original felt style seals

Not taking the regular approach to the rear end here, want is stupidly low with out huge negative camber and not interested in IRS just yet, I am in the process of re-designing the spring plates, flipping the RGB's running a sealed rgb set up, pros are using all the original running gear, cons, I know it's a big pain when changing a tyre and it's going to be a pain to set up but I love a challenge, took some measrements today and with a 10 inch drop there is still 1 - 2 inches of head room for the tyres I'm running and a slight negative camber on the axles.....sweet, more pics coming soon.

Classic thing about the tarp is that this bus has been in the rain for ever, I only have the tarp on so peeps won't spot it from the street at a glance, as for the bus wishing it had never been found by me, I bet the only part of the bus wondering what the hell is going down would be the steering box, if it could talk it would be like " Hey you aren't going do drive me around like this

...... NOOOOO

" haha eat tarmac steering box leave your mark

At this height the steering box is about 5mm off the deck
