Today I started trial fitting the linkage and inition system to the big motor, I'll clean it all up and paint before I fit it properly though.

T25 ingition should give it a bit extra poke, on a budget!

Have no idea when I'm going to fit the motor though, it's at the back of the queue at the moment!

A few more bits arrived for the bus the other day, including...

And I got a rubber seal from local specialist that worked out £30 cheaper than the quote I had from Automobiletrim.com. If anyone wants the details let me know.

Unfortunately it's too tight at the the sides, even after being greased with olive oil, so I'm goin to cut it down and just have rubber seals on the front and back of the slider.

I also put some new flooring in, it's kinda glittery, almost metal-flake like.

Still needs to be heated to make it ly properly but it's a nice fit, and free too, courtesy of the Norwich Theatre Royal revamp!

I also installed my ICE system, again free...

Which I'm looking forward to using in many sound off competitions.

Finally I cleaned up the back window...

And a gratuitous 'tough' shot!

Dropped spindles and plates arrived today...

And exhaust is on, although I think we may have welded the flange in the wrong place. No issues with clearing the engine brace bar though. 8)

Hi Mr. Olson, stance of your van is great, but did you have to notch the chassis or something when you lowered it 2 outer splines? And with those horseshoe plates?

Thanks!

No, it's not notched and I didn't use the U-plates, I sold them last week.
I'm probably going to raise the back up a bit because the deep sump is about 3 inches off the floor at the moment.
