[BANDITROD]

thats nuts i love it

[Redmohawk]

Just realised there is room in the freezer section to mount a beer coil !!!!! Hmmmmm keg beer in the bus! I even know where i can score the tap keg fitting and gas bottle fitting/reg Got to love working at a bar lol. Wonder if they will notice a beer gas bottle missing lol might be pushing the friendship to ask them to order me a keg do you think haha I hope you all drink Hahn super dry lol

[Redmohawk]

Thanks pete yeah i have been looking around here but havent found shit yet .

[RED ZX]

Farken awesome.

I want one, sounds like a killer setup you have there.

[latheboy]

NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM HADFIELD!!!! THE GUY IS A CUNT!!!!!

The parts wont fit and the after service is shit.

You need a disco ball and spa in the back Red:D;)

[Redmohawk]

Hey there Ivan the disco ball is in the bedroom still ! Will move it in when i'm all moved in, there are a few other options i didnt put in the list before IE L.E.D powered Tv lcd projector (will project up to 60 inch ! for the lonley nights when you want your porn life size lol 1800w suround sound makes for everyone to hear the moans haha.)

Hmmmm i don't know about rod hadfields rep but don't care much eather lol, I'm more a DIY sort of guy anyhow haha. A adaptor plate is easy to make yourself half the ones I've seen are just laser cut 10mm steel plate. You can make em up with the G-box and an engine plate and a bit of work with a crayon and beer carton lol The 6 cyl belhousing would do just need to get a V8 flywheel and pressure plate . The tricky bit is the g-box selector ! Being a bus the selector is 2 metres behind you! now thats a long shifter lol Thinking Hydrolic's Maybe a pair of small rams at the shifter leaver and at the top of the box that way its self adjusting for slop. Any sujestions welcome Ivan lol

Thought about getting a $800 blow up spa they had in the local sports store ! Might still go there it packs up small would fit on roof rack easy enough. Also thinking a covered bike traler might be an option for extra tools, misalanious shit and oh another bike would be nice betty looks so lonely by hereself haha maybe a dirt squirter ?

[oldskool]

Cool bus mate!

[Redmohawk]

Thanks olds,is a working project is getting somewhere near what I want. Thinking of changing the LPG to injection lpg and dropping the 5 speed in will make a big difference to fuel economy she has a 6 to 1 diff in her atm and is doing 4000 rpm on the highway in top so overdrive would be handy. Pickup at the lights gives your average 4 cyl car a very good run for its money , scares early 6's like old holden fords lol.

Best laugh so far was X mas eve at 10pm it had rained and i was on the way to work , stopped at lights next to a guy in a lowered hotted up sigma . I gunned it from the green to get past him to make a right turn at the next set of lights and nothing happened , looked in the mirrors and there was steam coming from the tyres , looked at the guy in the sigma and his eyes were as big as saucers! Must have looked to him like i was pulling a big burnout in a clapt out old coaster! lol

[Redmohawk]

Burtha got two thermo fans today and a big plastic air scoop to feel her radiator , she used to have a motor driven steel fan almost as big as a house fan ! Was so loud in there on the highway you needed a 1800w stereo to drown out the noise ! Now she just burbles that sweet V8 sound! Ahhhhhhhh .

More like the people that own hadfields are Cunts. When Rod owned it years ago the place was heaps better. Since the new owners took it over, service has gone downhill quick sticks. My boss bought a commodore front end to suit an EH falcon, Hadfields converted it, he took it home and standard rims rubbed like fuck. There response, get custom mags. What was the point in doin it in the first place.

[gumby190]

You need a big fuck off knuckle duster on the side of that to replace that Fox.........

Maybe 1000mm x 800mm..

[Redmohawk]

Sticker are going heat gun will fix em, been there for years all cracked and fucked hard as 100 year old dog turd and as crumbly.

Going the flat black with flames ie hot rod moon disks and side pipes . But a big knuckle duster for the loading ramp on the back would be the way to go! One for the front would be good to might have to message someone lol. Just got two for betty that would be perfect larger!

[Redmohawk]

Burtha must have heard I was planning on driving her to the shin-dig in morwell she promply put in a complaint! She blew the metal hose to trans cooler ! Bitch well at least I know where that pesky leek was coming from now lol. Right next to fan was spraying it everywhere and made a fucking huge mess ! So she is getting the treatment today new leads coil plugs might even put in a new altinator as the old one i was told is a 90 amp is actually a 40amp peice of shit , no wonder the lights dim when the subs kick in lol.

[ST31TH]

hook up a capasitor to ur subs it should stop the dimming

[Redmohawk]

Na a capacitor only works if your alt and battery can supply athe average current , My small amp draws on average rms value of 30 amps at 13.8 volts at 75% volume and the big amp draws 70 at 75% volume the Alt only produces 40amps so running the battery flat just with music let alone the lights and motor draw as well . I also have a 3rd amp that has been fitted but it only draws 20 amps lol.

BIG (1800 true RMS Watts) stereo needs BIG Alt! Simple as that! 40 amp alt is shit for claped out old fords , Even a new ford has a standard Alt of 75 amps just to run all the coputerised shit in them. I have a 100Amp alt but its for the second battery pack will just get another one for burtha's drive/stereo battery.

No i meant Rod.. Thats who i had to deal with years ago...

[Redmohawk]

Well what an ordeal lots of work to just get rid of a little fan!
A 16inch thermo and another 12 inch on the other side then a shroud to direct air into it as it was still overheating above 80kph Now she runs cool at 100kph and the thermo's dont kick in on the highway.
