So, when I first purchased my bus I came inches away from lowering it right then and there. I even had a straight axle trans sitting in my work area staring at me. I enjoyed my stock height time but I feel its time for some change. So Ive contacted the local lowering gurus and I can already hear the "I told you so" from them.
Another thing I'm changing is my current paint. Im not a Dallas Cowboys lover, but I am a lover of original paint and after 50 different test spots around the bus Ive decided to strip the respray off and let the white/turkis shine through. If i get really adventurous I will attempt some cargo door rocker repair. One last picture from KI as a before shot.

I have the spring plates you need and some heavy duty wheel adapters if you end up needing them.

I love the idea of getting back to the original colors. Good thinking! Can't wait to see your progress.
