newbie to the board

[busshawg]

Hello
I am new to this board although I have seen a few familiar faces, buses here. Please have patience with me as I find my way aroung here. I have been woking on my 1984 MC9 for about the last year. I look forward to spending time with you all. Hopefully I'll be nearing the end of this project within the next year.

Hi hawg...welcome to the madness.  Yep, we BUS CONVERSION crazies have taken over the boobie hatch.  You have been infected with a silly fun-fullfilling disease...for which there is NO KNOWN CURE!!!

Great looking coach.  What are you running for power and what kind of tranny?  And...are you bottling up and $selling$ some of your limitless energy soosss we can all buy some?  Welcome on board.

Good to be here, my wife has been looking for a cure but hasn't had any luck with me yet, just happy she's starting to get it too! I did say only starting though. The beast has a 8v71 with about 50k on it and a 5 speed manual trans. Diff has been recently replaced along with a few air bags. Overall in good shape, or so it seems so far. Just recently got all the water works , propane, inverter etc hooked up. Probably go with a solar panel in the spring. It will be too cold up here in never never land soon to do much to it. Thanks for the flowers and I believe the coach has been an outlet for my mind , get it off work etc. great theropy.

Welcome. Good to meet another 'neighbour'.

Nice job on that '9'.....looking good!

If you find your way to Brandon, or need to exercise (or is it exorcise) the bus, we'd be glad to meet up with you.

We're not too far from Tim Hortons on the #1 highway.

well isn't that something, I know there is a few buses around but never realized the comunnity was so big and small at the same time!! There is also a fellow just a few miles (3 I think) west of Brandon that is really going through his MCI, unbelievable really. I was thinking of stretching the old girls legs once before freeze up. Might have to head you way.

Welcome to the craziness.  Stay away from the OT until you get to know us better.  We are all good guys but some of us can get pretty whacked over there.

Welcome Grant, Nice to see another fellow Canadian on board. We live in lotus land ( Vancouver) If you are ever out this way look us up.

It's a great board with lots of very knowledgable bus nuts.

Weird, I too have a 1984 MCI-9, been working on it for over a year and my name is Grant!

Welcome and good luck. I have completed several projects on the bus and may be able to share some ideas. I also would strongly suggest you visit Gumpy's website and see all the outstanding work his has done with his 9.

Hi BusHawg,

And Welcome aboard!

We were all newbies at some point, so don't let that slow you down.

Lots of great information and people on this board, who are more than willing to share there experiences.

You can use the search function to find many answers, but it always nice to get the latest and greatest advice from the gang.

Look forward to hearing and seeing(photo's) about your your project.
