Hi Priscilla, you have such a funky looking bus!! Did you paint it like this or purchase it as it looks? We looked at a green one about a year ago but wasent as neat. Yours is only the 3rd Brazilia that ive seen.

Calooker, she makes such a noise all on her own, loud pipe might just shut her up. LOL!
NTO, bought her with the funky paintjob, PCP did the work, found their business card in the bus, you can google them, are in Jhb.

These parts are back, the steel plates from the engine were send to the powder coaters, will post a pic when it's finished.
I will pick up the window latches tomorrow.
I also got the seals for the front wheel bearings.

Herman, the coke tin is for the aerial, not doing the "flower-on-aerial" thing! LOL!

jolas, we're getting there slowly but surely, hopefully the bus will be running by June, want to go to Zwartkops raceway for the classic car show.

Will update again next week.

OK, the engine is re-assembled, off to be painted.
I think it is the clutch and plate were send to be refurbished, the joints? (sorry, I'm speaking second hand here) will be removed and refurbished too.
By next week the engine will be fitted and the week after that she might be running again!

Will visit her in the week and get some pics.

Engine is painted, will be fitted next week.
The drive shafts were also taken to be refurbished.
Still waiting for the clutch.
The steering will be done next, gonna cut out old ball joints, fit new 'modern' joints from a Golf.
Will update again next week.
