I thought I'd merge your 2 posts Dan, since they are the same car.

Nice work Dan. Very Nice. I will have to check it out one day.

I've got my V6 sitting by itself, I'm just about to start drawing the flywheel and engine mount pattern so I can design the adaptor.

Cheers Wes !

Hey ryan,
It hasn't been too difficult to put in as the engine mount had already been fabricated.... just had to drill mounting holes in the rails, it really was a bolt in. The loom took a while to wk out and mount, as did the 15 or so miscellaneous hoses! Adding the extra radiator turned out to be the most consuming part I think? 3wks all up so far! 2L g'box

Man thats a straight lookin bus..

Nice look... Maybe abit of dumping is in order?


danzin - September 27th, 2002 at 07:27 AM

absolutely !! believe it or not, it's got an adjustable front and twisted rear ! in that pic she's sitting on the rubber bumps !! I think it was those 70's making it look high ? on 60's at the mo :)
I've been meaning too get adjustable bumps....too really bomb it, but now it seems I have a slight sump issue complicating things :( not giving up yet though :)

I love that colour!:thumb


The_Bronze. - October 15th, 2002 at 09:15 PM

Nice ride Dan. I love the colour to. Wouldn't mind a bus one day. Hopefully it will be an option and not a need. Two kids are enough for me.

It looks sweet though, I miss the camper that taught me so much about the ways of the world.

The Bronze.

thanks !
it was done on a $800 budget ! so I was pretty happy with it ! The colour is nissan pulsa blue 2000 model ! got a touch up bottle and got 5L made up :)
Still not back on the rd yet :( procrastinating mainly }:l But hopefully within the month she'll be rolling (under her own steam) again ????


phatrat - April 11th, 2003 at 11:05 AM

I just can't wait to get on t........Did this bus find it's way back....on the road again?...How did the cooling system go? any problems with air flow, over heating etc...:)


danzin - April 15th, 2003 at 12:19 PM

Hi,
Yep, she's back on the rd :) Flying :)
The rad underneath works great! airflow had been a concern...even designed a new shroud to scoop more air..but so far haven't needed it...spent new years driving up and down the coast..doesn't get any tougher then that :)

I have made several copies of the set up, so if your interested in going that way let me know

Will try and update my pictures soon!
cheers
dan


kombi_kid - April 15th, 2003 at 05:18 PM

Hi !
Sorry for taking so long to reply!
I'm not really sure on an exact price at the moment? will sort out a price and post it tomorrow?

Have you got any 58 bus rear lights? pressed bumpers? Full length roof rack for a bay? :)

I read you've already gone the bumper bar route? got any pics yet?

hi,
well I'm thinking around the $250 mark, thats not including the radiator!

the cradel is made from 316 stainless, with 4 hem's and 13 folds! they're a beast to make I assure you :)

still wking on the current pics :(

"current pics & information on how it's running??? "

do you mean the cooling?

it holds 85 degrees all day form 10 to 90+ mph .. it wk's really well!


phatrat - May 7th, 2003 at 03:44 PM

Do you have a contact number, so as to have a chat?

Steve


phatrat - May 15th, 2003 at 03:23 PM
