This is great- such a good job so far. Can't wait to see how it progresses.
 
So, during the process of sand blasting the bus and cleaning other parts, i've now got no reference as to the ride height for the rear suspension on the bus anymore!!!!!!
I now have to guess at where the spring plates should be! This was one part of the tear down that I didn't take any photo's of as I had marked the plates as well as the mounting surface.
Best laid plans and all, ha ha ha. So now I'd like to know if anyone has a simple way to to get the bus back to it's original LOWERED stance without fitting and checking, then re-doing it all over again.
 
Mats on the above pic ^^^ do you know what make, profile, width those tyres were?

Is the front just spindles, adjusters or narrowed beam? I won't ask the back haha :lol:

the front is just on adjusters, I need the beam narrowed about four inches so the front wheels don't chew out the wheel arches now. The tyres I can;t remember their profile or width, but because I like you, I'll chase it up for you tomorrow. ;)
 
So, I had some free time this weekend, and was able to spend it on the bus, which was a great feeling.
Got the rear suspension sorted after the third try, but now just like Goldilocks said, it's just right :D




got a fair bit done over the weekend, and it's starting to look like a bus again!!!




I tried the front badge on to see how it was coming along.





 
Almost finished now, just have to sort out a little more of the wiring and it’ll be back on the road!!!!

It’s starting to get real now. Super excited about finishing the bus off, and going for a weekend away.
