MCI102C3 conversion in progress

[Scott & Heather]

Everything you jus said. Literally. Obviously the DDEC II 8v92TA isn't modern but it's a step up from our Mechanical 6v92. I appreciate the trans that shifts better, more power, throttle by wire instead of 40 foot cable, touchpad electronic wipers with adjustable delay, tilting telescoping steering wheel, 6" wider, 6" longer in bedroom area because of flat back conversion. This coach fell into our laps in Dallas and we just couldn't pass it up. Brand new brakes all the way around, new bearings, new u joints, brand new airbags all the way around. Completely new airlines and fittings, very nicely done 12 volt taillight conversion, nicely done 8" roof raise and Renaissance caps, 24.5" aluminum alcoas, new tires, rust free chassis, new shocks all the way around including tags, new tag bushings completely rebuilt with new parts, cooling box and mitre box for blowers all rebuilt from ground up and brand new mitre box and new squirrel cage fans new polymer bushing pucks. New radiators and hoses. Came with a complete 6v92 in frame kit from Detroit in the luggage bays still in packaging. Also in luggage bays:
New bendix compressor
New 8v92 DDEC II harness
New brake can diaphragms
Dash tach
Tons of various new parts and pieces from MCI coachguard.
Brand new engine mount rubbers
New wheel seals

All for $10K. Couldn't pass it up. Just couldn't.

Floor remove completed in one day. Next day Heather and I cleaned up broken screw heads and cleaned gray caulking from sides in prep for new floor. Also cleaned all the various parts and 6b92 in frame kit out of luggage bays so I can work under there when the time comes. That took a day transferring everything out of the luggage bays and into my in laws shed. Today is final prep for the spray foamers tomorrow!

No doubt about it, a very good deal, one of the very best possible.

OK yep good deal. Haven't found the dead fish under a seat yet I hope? That would be my luck,  LOL

Lol. Not yet. I've stripped the coach bare in prep for conversion and driven it 2000 miles without issue so I'm pretty sure we're good the previous owner is amazing and has kept in touch with us even emailing me a few days ago to see how the conversion is going. He ended up finding a deal on a newer bluebird and has been working on it

Today coach was dropped off at the spray foamers and the interior strip out trash was taken to the landfill.

I'm moving my posts over to my project page since this really will continue to be ongoing and I don't want to busy up the main page...so I locked the thread, and will post from now on in "BUS PROJECTS" Baby on board
