got my bus back. yay.
here's some pics of my bus.
finally got it back after getting the g'box built.
now has brand new Albins super diff, Albins 3rd, and Albins 0.70 4th.
put the new rims on tonight. they're ROH adrenalines, with 245/45 17's.
put some new adjustable Koni's on there too.
still would like to bring it down another inch or two at the front, and at least one more spline at the back.

thats one nice and clean looking bay , how does the motor go for cooling i am guessing the radiator is underneath the bus somewhere, i have heard
different stories about cooling issues in regards to radiator placement,
also if its under the bus and you go another 50mm lower will it be close to lets say a speed hump, just curious as i was going to fit a v6 in my bay
i had a while ago but didnt want the radiator sitting on the front bumper
if i get another bay as a daily driver this is the power plant i will go for |

it has a radiator from a hx holden v8.
that's the largest off the shelf rad. that will fit between the chassis rails.
there has been no overheating issues since the thermostat has been changed to run a little cooler, there's also two big thermo fans on the back of
the rad sucking air through.
if you look just inside the front right wheel in the first pic, you can just see the duct that sits up front to direct air through the rad too.
The only clearance drama I can see straight away with lowering it some more, is the exhaust at the moment runs below the g'box.
this will have to be changed.
good luck with yours.:beer |

Looks very nice now...but you're right it will certainly look a treat once it squats down a little lower!

Neither-put the original steels back on with some of those chrome look hubcaps that imitate a set of mags.If you were a good boy last year-there
should have been some in your Xmas stocking.
