Back on the road!

The bus is back on the road! I drove it around last week to shake the dust off. I had a problem with a dead battery, but once I got it charged up again to bus tore out of the garage like it wanted to go! I've got to register it since it's been a long time since it's been legal. I'm hoping to take some trips this summer and I'll report on mileage and performance later.

I still have a couple of bugs to work out yet. I want to make sure all the wiring and coolant hoses are routed well away from the exhaust. I also want to replace every centimeter of fuel hose to avoid any problems. There is a squeal coming from somewhere in the driveline that I haven't bene able to find. I dropped the transmission this winter thinking it was the torque converter bushing, but that wasn't the problem after all. I'm thinking of tidying up the electrical connections also. So many wires have to be grounded on the post in the electrical box in the upper driver's side of the engine compartment that they barely fit.
