Paint for the bus?

Here is the paint scheme for my bus, with possible zombie infused designs.

Drivetrain

Just dropped the transaxle off at Affordable Transmissions to be rebuilt. These guys do great work for a reasonable cost (i hope the same is true) it should be rebuilt in the next few days.
I also ordered 2 new CV axles from checker and they'll be in tomorrow morning. i need to check the rear brakes and bearings while everything is apart and if i run out of stuff to do ill go to the park with my dogamus maximus. 

Back up engine....yes please

This morning my friend tina told me about a TDI in the junkyard, so tomorrow im going to pull it out and save it just in case this one doesnt work... plus those engines are kinda rare so if i can get a spare for under 400 bucks im all over it. And if my curent one works then ill throw the spare in my brothers corrado and make it a soot smoking monster. stoked.

POOP. Proof of our progress

 

This is the engine installed, the wiring is almost figured out.

 

Turbo charger with intercooler piping.

 

Ol Shoot grinding the welds down and preparing the body for bondo

 

Passenger air duct installed ready for bondo

 

Bondo. The only thing I hate more than bondo is Bin Laden.

 

Made a Flambongo (flamingo beer bong) while waiting for the bondo to dry.

 

Sanded and primed duct.

 

Side dump exhaust, what do you think?

 

The cooling ducts, looks like they were designed by Volkswagen. :)

First Post

This is going to be my summer blog where you can keep up on my whereabouts and how far my bus has lasted. The first few posts will include the build up of the 1.9 TDI bus. Then hopefully some road photos and stories about the crazy adventures we're about to partake on.
