Al, love your work and a truly amazing bus that shows your considerable attention to detail.
But I've be scared stiff to drive it!
Couldn't park that anywhere.

Plus I hate washing cars......no secrets why my Panel is matt and the colour of dust.
Tell me, is your next innovation to build a bus that looks amazing and also cleans itself?

Cheers guys. Andy, will have to do some research on a self-cleaning modification - would come in very handy!

A few pics of the bus from Dynomania 2011. Not quite ready to run yet but hopefully not far away.

Tonz, those driving vids are getting very close now. Andrew and Leon (from Leon's Motors) has been working on the bus for the last few weeks including wiring the EFI, welding in the sensor bungs in the intake plus injector bosses etc etc. Obviously jobs like this take a lot longer when aesthetics is just as important as functionality.

We zipped up today to do a slight clutch adjustment and check it had all gears now Andrew had the motor running on a start up/idle map. From here the bus can be strapped down and the EFI remapped accounting for the boost (~7psi to 10psi max dictated by supercharger pulley size).

I only had my crappy 2MP old work camera with me so the video and sound is very average - but this was just a taste of whats to come. Belt needs slight adjustment (hence slight slip on start up).

Cheers
Al

Great to see it run!

Will definitely have to come down for another look before it gets picked up.

Yeah it has been a very very long gestation for this genetically modified super-bus Tonz. Not quite as tear-jerking as the birth of my own two kids, but satisfying nonetheless
