My mid life crisis !

[RICKY-R69]

I know that bus. Had a white V painted om the nose like a splitty. Had a nice Bullbar with the radiator. Bus was standing in Mokopane at an intersection for a couple of days. Helped the guy with a Peugeot 505 radiator, because his was leaking badly. When he started it up, the water spurted out of the expansion tank. So they towed the bus back to Joburg with a 1300 Tazz. He used the bus to transport pre-school kids. Had a very nice interior at the time.

Thats correct,, picked it up for 10K,, not sure on related prices ,, but the therapy is worth much more,, havent been this excited since the first time I was going to get lucky ! the interior looked good from far but was a half job so will be redoing hat as well !

[RICKY-R69]

Did not want to sell at the time. Said he paid 25k for it. Gave me the nose badge and R250 for the radiator.

[stuart1]

any chance I can have my badge back, you can keep the 250,,lol

[RICKY-R69]

Any chance I can get my radiator back then?

[stuart1]

is it a good radiator?

[stuart1]

etch primer on to stop any rust,, now to smooth and touch up before primer!

[RICKY-R69]

That radiator is one of the best.

[stuart1]

so do you suggest I use that rather than a golf rad?

[RICKY-R69]

It stays your choice. Thing is, it is already mounted on the bullbar. The piping and hoses were made to fit. The fan was mounted. It is a nice big radiator so it should run cooler. There are a lot of controversy on the cooling systems but you can have a look on wwwmvwkd.co.uk. They got nice configurations on there.

I'm not planning to leave it on the front,, underneath or in the back with ducting

Are you Michael Creevy's dad?

[RICKY-R69]

I did the radiator in the back thing with ducting.The problem is with the low pressure system it forms behind the bus. Will go the under belly route next time round. Best then to use two golf radiators with primary and secondary fans.

@ Beetlecrisis,,, my wife say's I am but not too sure,,lol,,

[stuart1]

@ Ricky, I have a few plans to either ducr from the front orthrough the sides, I think the main thing will be to do the ducting propper, considering running a viscous coupling/fan off the motor so that there is allway's air being pulled through,, will run my exact plan's past all you knowledgable people befor I do it though !!
