The Bus is Back

Today I called the Garage and found that they were DONE with my bus. Settled the price and jumped the next train home... amazing how my afternoon cleared. :)

Today happened to be the worst snow storm day we've had too. Here I am picking up an antique vehicle and driving it among a bunch of idiots.

The Garage said it had a little oil leak they found after it was started. not worried.

Also the hydraulic lifters are rattling. I checked this out and depending on how long they rattle is the how severe the fix is.

So, the whole purpose of bringing the bus there was the transmission. Let me tell you, it's PHENOMENAL!!!! Simply awesome. Shifts tight and amazing. You can feel all the gears. There's NO sloppiness, it's amazing. The Gene Burg Shifter  is awesome. Has a short throw, easy grip, easy to shift into reverse... awesome.

Drove it home... took about 20 minutes. Handled awesome in the snow. Unfortunately, it didn't have windshield wipers and my driver side window wouldn't roll up... minor things considering it was 20 and snowing and blowing :) Did I mention it doesn't have heat either?

Tried to park it in the front garage and found out that garage is too short. So, it's in the back garage now.

This weekend on Sunday, my dad and I will be going through and hooking up a bunch of odds and ends. Radio, Heat, Aux Power, satellite radio, lights. etc.
