  2. Murraymuzz, that's a very nice bus you have there. I like the tent.
     
  3. Lurvely bus dude, enjoy :thumbsup:
     
  4. Thanks Lofty, the tent is quite old probably same era as the bus. Here's another pic, I sewed a kador strip onto the end of the tent awning and then attached 3 figure 8 strips to attach to the bus.

    That looks like a very nice camper.also recognise some of the places in the photos.spent some good times there with a sleeping bag on my back .would love to do it all again with the kids in a camper. Done 4 years in oz living out of an old Holden .would be so nice to take a year out(go off the grid as they say) with the kids and just bum about again.

  10. Having a few issues at the moment, one being its been starting up very rich and rough idling until warmed up...Chrisradioman or anyone do you know what this could be maybe?
    Wondering about the oxygen sensor or cold start valve perhaps? The catalytic converter has been removed at some stage but the o2 sensor is still there plugged in. Would this make it run really rich when you start up if o2 has a faulty wire or sensor, even though there's no cat converter anymore? ECU still thinks there's one right?

  11. That's one sweet bus. I hope you get the engine sorted soon.
