should be done next week

[bleedingmoody]

After having trouble today with the new gearbox, it not being what it was sold to me as, we had to find another one. so the bus is still in this state





but I did see Robs again, which always makes me smile




oh and the panel

[lammyrider]

yours is about the same height as mine ;D

[bleedingmoody]

gave underneath a good clean >:(there was soooo much shit under there you wouldn't believe, you can see some of it on the floor






gear box and engine went back in and it looks like it might be a bit lower when it's back on it's wheels

[BUBBABOOBOO]

good work

[baza]

Good work Moody, like the panel, how do you get the wheels on when its that low at the back?

[bleedingmoody]

good question ;D you have to let the tyres down then try and squeeze the wheel out between the arch and the brake drum, if it don't come out you have to undo the shock and drop it down

[67split]

Looking good me old mukka! Looking forward to the seein the finished article!!
As for changing those back tyres? Sounds like tyre weld to me!!
Ive already tried to change mine and they aint comin off!!!!!
The joys of a low bus!!!!! Well worth it though!!

I think I'm right in sayin u need a decent sized metal bar to lever the swing arm down enuf to get the wheel off. Think that was wot Bobby told me when I asked the same question bout me broz bus. Sounds like hassle but all worth it when the stance looks sooo0oo goood ;D

[badpanel]

Looking good Bud!
Looks like my panel may need another tap with the lowering stick!!

[bleedingmoody]

yours is low enough
mine wont be anywhere near that, I'm not even as low as Robs

[badpanel]

Make it happen!!
What beam are you havin?

[MR AFWO !]

lookin forward ta seeing it in all its glory yo, plus its good ta see a flik of that panel on its wheels.

[bleedingmoody]

now things went a bit pear shaped with bits so here goes,
we put it back on the ground, but in reality it was too low for me with the family and everything, especially the amount of stuff we take away with us, it tends to weigh a lot. but it did look cool even though everything was scraping






so we raised it back up to sensible height bit dissapointed but I do need to be practical







and the whole point of it going in was so I could get better cruising speed, and that I certainly got







so thats it and this is how she looks

[Dodgy]

Is that your true speed ? or is your skinny rubber on the front having somewhat of an effect

We need to do a speed check on Saturday Morning via phone between Vicks and Paula. I will take my GPS and we can get an accurate speed

[vicktori]

that would be cool
I see no difference in the height at all
Any how Mr Moody bone to pick with you - you cheeky fook saying how heavy it is with all of us in lol
God the boys really do need to loose some weight the little porkers ;D
