I personally take very few pictures of my bus mostly because I take very few pictures at all.  My digital camera that is three years old still has only 105 pictures on the original 2GB SD card and I have never deleted a picture.

I doubt many folks want to see pictures of me running new wires for my headlights or installing grommet mount marker/trun signal lights.

It is finally warm enough here to work on the bus.  I will be getting the bus ready Sunday to go to the garage on Monday for a new windshield.  I will also be replacing my surface mount marker/turn signal lights with grommet mount ones like Ken/Ruth did on their Dina.  (Current ones have water in them.)

I suppose I can share some pics of my project for the last two weeks. It's not really building but it's bus related.

Seafam,

That looks great.  I am in the process of polishing mine.  Wish I had time to really do it instead of a little hear and a little there.  Let us know what your using. 


Bob,
Congrats on the awnings.  That is great!!

Yesterday was a high of 41F! At last the snow has melted enough I can get to the bus. I have a few seals and hoses to replace to slow down the air losses. I am hearing a knocking noise while the bus airs up. It does quieten down once the tanks reach pressure, is likely to be the governor or compressor?

Put the batteries back in and boosted her yesterday, runs fine. Left her overnight and started her again today with no difficulty. This wek wil be air related. After that I need to track down the coolant leak around the heater coil in the middle of the bus.

Thanks for the kick in the rear Bob!

I don't have much time left to finish up the inside changes and hopefully will get after it more as the last 2 weekends have not let me do anything. I also ran across a video camera special on Ebay that was selling them for $95 and free shipping so I bought one. They are pretty slick. Figured I might figure out some Youtube posts with it.
