Melissa's 78 Standard

Ive never been in a jail cell, but it does remind me of a familiar holding tank that I sort of remember.

Bus looks solid, I am going through the same thing with mine, just sent my injectors out. How long has this bus been sitting? My gas was "Turpentine Red"

My plan is to replace all the fuel, vacume and evap hoses and fire it up and see how it runs. The bus sat for 2 years. I don't think much fuel was left in it. I have good flow out of the tank to the pump.

Started pulling parts in prep for beam removal and replacement. Just need to get some brake line plugs and caps and pull the booster and master and pull the trailing arms.


The old beam had a bit of rust.













Once the beam is in I will pull the engine to clean out the mouse nests and redo all fuel and vac lines and other deferred maintainance.

Is that why we had such a hard time pushing that thing onto the trailer? Keep the pics coming Ted.

No pics yet, but the beam is in. Started mounting the trailing arms and have the uppers all in. Tomorrow I will install the lowers, spindles, tie rods and the remaining undercar parts. Plans are to pull motor when that is completed.

Wish I was up that way, could help out and soak up some of that experience!

Beam is in, brakes are bled and it is on it's tires. Will pull engine next week possibly.

I will need to fix some collision damage witha port a power before the engine goes back in.

Here it is sitting correctly in the front. Starting to look much better.
