CXGPWR Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 So ended up buying a old coach that has done 804,000km, still runs like a gem with a re powered cummins 6bt and alison 4speed automatic. Plans are to stip it, clean and repair leaks, then build it into a camper coach. Should be interesting... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CXGPWR Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Towbar? Keen to see this towing a racecar around and partying in between. Not at the moment but will have one fitted by the end of the build. Progress update though, found the rear brakes were not operating. Some wise guy before i got the bus filled the brake resivour with good ol ATF. So all the seals in the rear brake air hydraulic master cylinder are swollen and not working as they should. So having to price some parts tomorrow. Will get some pics in the morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CXGPWR Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 So ripped the master cylinder apart, found all seals buggered. Found two s/hand cylinders off a truck at a wreckers. Stripped them, got all the bits i needed and re-assembled my orignal one. Bled it all up and now have rear brakes. Pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 should have bought my mums ex NZR bedford repowered with Isuzu/spam - it seems to get its brakes rebuilt every 6 months Love watching house buses get built up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Fuck yeah. Good score. Keep progress pics coming..I too love watching these things evolve. Damn thats a nice price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CXGPWR Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Put this on the bus hoist at out local tranzit depo. Not much to do for re compliance, just a small patch approx 6 inches of chassis heave rust which will come out with a hammer. One front wheel bearing, and a full set of brake shoes all round. All in all bugger all to do to get it back on the system and on the road! The tranzit guy was really surprised at the underside being so tidy, as was I! So just a whole lotta money to get the brakes re-lined and we should be right I reckon! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
