I’m glad I got all the buses I’ll ever need. I have no plans to buy another.

Its OK Andy. You could swap a Subaru into to make it worth $20k? Its only OG once, and collectors want authenticity. I see the value.

 

There are only a certain number of buses in this world. Its a privilege to own one these days.

I chalk it up to the scene. When we got into this stuff 2o years ago, there were only half the number of people that could be called die- hard enthusiasts. Even then, everyone wanted beetles and ghias…buses were weird and dorky.

You don’t need to pull the engine.

 

Just take the rear tin off, remove the fan, and loosen the fan housing. You should be able to get things loose enough to wiggle the cooler out.

 

I’ve done this job laying in the dirt.

Empi arrived yesterday. The parts department is looking sweet.

A bunch of original spindles for gusseting work. These are a weak point. We’re going to keep an extra in the car and make the change-out process as fast as possible.

We’re talking about Mongoose, Diamondback or Redlines. Maybe Dyno…but GT got into the game after it was established. How about a Kuwahara or Hutch?

Did you buy a bracket kit to modify or are you going to fab something up? I’m sure time will tell. Keep on it.

I bought the vanagon/bay window bracket kit they had available. All I had to do was trim it down a little to get it closer to the gutter and clear the windows. I also welded a support bar to roof mounting provisions. I don’t think it would be sturdy enough without. The unit is heavy 75lbs plus.

You guys are trying to take it to the overland expo? We are going to be close.

Installing the lids today and I think we’ll be mostly done. Spend the next few days getting a little road time, adjust/tune, and detailed to the moon.

Hooking you up with a OG air cleaner assembly. I have a black paint session to do later.
