I was going to work on this for someone else but he wanted it doing yesterday so he asked me if I wanted to buy it. It's a Cali import, in really good nick, can't believe how good compared to a uk bus. You get the idea, it's a 7/8 seater kombi with factory metal sliding roof, although rear seats are missing. I've got all glass inc opening 1/4 lights and sliding side windows and most of the original cards It came with an unfitted 1600 but Six rib box and Ecu suggest it should be 2.0FI, which it will go back to. When I dragged it out of its storage I had a chat with the farmer and after taking it home for 6 weeks I ended up taking it back again to its new workshop
So now it's ensconced in its new home I can get on with it First job free off the back brakes to make it easier to roll about Stripped down without too much of a fight, ordered new shoes and cylinders. Front panel is solid but the wipers have been bashed in a bit, Had a bit of a bash at them Nearly there but I could do with a set of proper dollys, access isn't easy at the back of them!
Looks very solid. Have you got any pics of the sunroof & mechanism. I've never seen one in the flesh!
Its hard to explain isent ,any rust just wipes away and its solid metal underneath unlike UK rust that's rotten all the way through.
well I only needed one replacing but was advised to do both so I'll save the other cable if you need it
Had a clear out today to see where it's at. Mostly there I think, don't know where this panel goes? Wish I'd paid more attention to @Merlin Cat roof at techenders now, some broken bits I think @davidoft? Cable? Bit broken off that side? Front corner drain needs a little work Bottom of B pillars good though Felt seal required but no welding
Never looks much in pics but plenty of work prepping floor and roof m Been pricing up what I need for the sunroof
Lovely easy job removing the driveshafts when the engines out Both inner boots are looking ok, original I think, reluctant to replace just for the sake of it knowing the quality of new rubber. I do love my free parts washer
I'm doing my cv joints at the moment It's a messy job that would be made a lot easier with a parts washer. I'm reusing my old cv boots for now The quality of rubber is shocking at the moment So I may upgrade to polyurethane boots when mine do give up the ghost. That bus looks in decent nick underneath Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
