sidewaysickness Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 This weekend was all about making sparks, I cut out all the sharp edged panel steel and prepped the spots I would be welding to. After fucking around with wrong regulators I managed to get this far (with a little help) After stealing some wood from the old man I managed to get this far today The superking mattress will take up all of that area, except for 80mm a side 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewaysickness Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Alright, Iv been living in the old girl for a few months now and its awesome! No regrets whatsoever Iv pulled out the table and chairs to make room for a full sized fridge Iv replaced the 12" subwoofers that are mounted under the couch with some xplod's that I had kicking around the shed Does anyone know anything about this amp? Ripped out walls because they were dumb In goes the fridge, I will try to hide this or paint it or something to hide its uglyness. It may even end up on the other side of the bus then I moved onto my parents property. They will be getting their bus legal soon and hitting the road so there will be much more space then, I just hope we can get my bus into their spot! Its all been about the shower and water system lately, Brought a gas califont and mounted that in a locker (still need to make a flue for it). Run water pipes and drainage pipes, Dad chucked up some wood to attach the lining to and we after work today we started cutting up a old stainless shower cubicle to line my shower with. Heres a pic dump 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oooooooooh, not sure your bus will fit where the other one is. Looking good though man, awesome. The bedford is only 2 meters shorter but its the positioning of my front wheels that may not allow the tight turn. Hey cheers... but what about the bus????

shane22 Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Great work; such wood. I have a feeling that I used to go to school on this bus. The blue engine cover looks very familiar. Any idea when it was taken out of service as a school bus? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysickness Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Thanks It was last in service for SBL (southern bus links). So was based in the Nelson region Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shane22 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yep; I grew up in Appleby-ish area so spent many years riding SBL's finest. Cool to see one reborn! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewaysickness Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Today I set about fitting the German Sunmover solar panel. The idea is that the panel is controlled by magic so its always pointing at the sun, they claim to be 3 times more efficient than a fixed panel of the same output. The filthy roof before I started (note the tv aerial shoved out the hatch, I pick up the digital with that shit lol) You can hardly notice the clean spot Being a fiberglass roof I didn't think it was up to the challenge of supporting the weight of the panel and the controller, So after giving ladaspeed a quick dutch rudder he let me cut out a 800x800 square of 3mm sheet steel. This will sit between 2 of the internal framings so the weight shouldn't be an issue now. The sheet had a bit of surface rust so I killed the rust and painted it with leftover Hilux paint Brought some spendy and strong double sided tape and used that and alot of silicon sealer to fix it to the roof Attached the mounting plate using the same method as well as 6x 12g screws that go right through the fibreglass roof, add more silicon Mounted the panel and controller So now I need to run conduit and wiring to get that bitch online 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Thats gonna work so well. Ours is fixed in one plane but can be raised up in angle manually to suit summer and winter sun. Makes a big difference to the output. After having tried out these led strip thingees you should definitely check them out if you still planning some electrical changes. Amazing light.
