I remember talking to you about your bus on the ride back on the ferry from Put-N-Bay. Wow, you really were serious about getting it all done! Very nice paint!
Obviously, you're doing new rubber and the way around? And I'm assuming new seats as well? Give us the update on that engine. Still FI?
Although I didn't take it, the picture below has what I think is your sage green bus on the far right??
Well, we can never have enough sage green bay window 'westys' in LEAKOIL! Keep up the good work. That thing looks great!

The engine is all original didn't have to rebuild it. (yet)

Those pictures on the link are awesome. Wow! You had a lot of work done on that bus! Very nice. That's the best "tape" job I've ever seen!
Were the bumpers that bad? I guess so if you're replacing them. That's an expense no one enjoys.
Let us know where you buy the rubber from and what you think of it. I went with WW, but they may have gotten it from WCM. Who knows anymore? I'm happy with mine now, but ask me in two years.
That thing will look great when you put it all back together. I love those sage green bay windows. As they say, the fun is about to start! Can't wait to see it!
Yes, and BTW it's good to have an automatic bus. She denies it, but my wife would kill, (me that is
), for an automatic!

Bumpers are not all that bad, but the late bay bumpers are pretty reasonable to purchase new so I may as well make it right.
I am going to talk to Bill about the rubber. If I remember he told me that the WCM rubber fit the best.
I was hesitant about purchasing an automatic at first, but after driving it I find it quite enjoyable:)
