Here are some pics of my bus as the paint removal process has progressed. I'm not completely satisfied with the results but it's way better than what was on it.


Nice progress! Keep at it.

After literally years of passively searching, I finally cobbled together the four pieces of SIGLA door glass I needed to complete the correct glass on my bus.
When I got the bus in '06, it had all correct, well preserved SIGLA glass except for the door glass, which had been busted out.
Installed on the weekend as it's been snowing and well below zero here for the last week or more..

I'm very pleased that the bus finally has all correct glass again.

I think a sawz-all is preferable though?

I removed the rear bumper and apron. In preparation to pull the engine at a later date.

Wondering if toydude111 can mail me a cardboard template so I can put some monster mudders under the back.

Pulled my engine today to swap out a bad Gen. Going to change the fuel lines and a few other repairs since the engine is out.

I pulled the tranny and gas tank out of my white bus today, tank will be sent to be treated by the local gas tank / radiator guy in town, and the tranny is getting replaced, and I still have to find an engine for it

Yeah. That milk crate and the stack of orange traffic cones. Usually I have to steal that kind of shit when I need it.

Changed my oil and adjusted my valves after my trip up north to the Red Barn and Kelli Park show.
I'm actually getting pretty good at doing this (faster) since I do this 4-5 time a year with the mileage I put on my bus.
Also replace venting hose off my valve cover on passenger side that I forgot to tuck up last oil change and adjustment that was touching my heater box.

I think that was Everett giving the mad dog J-Ville point scaring everyone away.

Believe it or not they actually didn't mention a thing. Which I am happy about cause I don't have one or the funds for one at this point. Eventually I will put one on when $ permits.

Shit! From here I approve your inspection! Looks good enough! Cool

Washed the Dormy today for the second time this year, highly unlike me! Embarassed
