Ok, not posted for a while. i've been doing a load of non exciting things like getting the seats mounted, sorting out teething problems with wiring etc etc. i did take some pictures for insurance purposes the ther day so thought i'd share them with you
that bus looks absolutely superb, very well done..total respect to you, have you any video footage you could post up
cheers guys. no video yet. the mot is due this month and will be the first one for this bus with the porsche engine. currently trying to fix it all up and connect things together. really struggling to the get the two gearbox bolts to the bellhousing hanger on. I have to install the engine and gearbox as one because the size of the engine doesnt allow me to pull the engine off the gearbox insput shaft before hitting the valance. i have done it a few times, but can remember my method. i've tried jacking the gearbox put at this point but still cant get it started. i can get the hole lines up to get the bolt in, but cant seem to get the thread started. i think i will loosen off the bellhousing to engine bolts and see if that will give me enough play.
Dude, that is simply A W E S O M E Thank you for sharing this with us, I can't pretend I'm not jelous but you get a bucket full of respect from me for such an awesome bus. I'm off for a cold shower, Laterz...
guys...you're making me blush thanks i would like to put it in a show or two if i'm honest, but not sure yet. i will have to see
well i managed to get the gearbox bolted into the hanger last night - meaning that i could fit the driveshafts...hear that, driveshafts. that means i'm definitely close now i'm glad i checked to see if the gearbox rebuilder put oil in the box cos it was empty. i initially thought...what a cheap skate after i spent £1200+ with him. then i thought, oil could spill in convoy so i forgave him now only 10 things on the ToDo list before MoT
raise: ............. O0 O0 O0 what more can I say ;D ...........good luck for the forth comming MOT............but I dont think you'll need any luck 8)
i've got tomorrow evening and all day friday as i have blagged aday off work hopefully some good progress will be made and i can cross a few more things off the list - even the ones i've added to the list since my last post lol
