Not posted for ages, so thought i'd do a catch up.
Time for a total revamp, old interior out as I need more room to accommodate Charlie who insists on growing at an alarming rate
Completely new tan interior
Pictures to come of the new engine

Stu dropped the bus off to me for some work and upgrades at the end of the summer after he had done the bits he could with his bad back
He’s had a 1776 in his garage for years and after much badgering I’ve convinced him to put it in his bus :mrgreen: So I gave the motor to my mate and engine genius Hector Howe who completely stripped it down and made it more bus friendly. It’s an older engine originally and we were lucky to find some old Skool goodies from past company’s like Dee engineering which was cool 8)
It’s now sporting a Engle w110 cam, 1.25 rockers, hectors special ported & flowed stock valve heads, 8.5:1 conpression, Weber 40 IDf’s, lightened flywheel, stage 1 clutch and an 1” 1/2 sidewinder exhaust. As well as being fully balanced and blue printed. So should see about 100hp and have plenty of usable torque. I’ve also given it a full inspection, service and fitted some gauges and a Hurst shifter.

An absolute age since I last updated.
Bus is used and abused as it should, 1776 makes a huge difference.
Just a few pictures over the last year
