O_O

Oh my god, the goddam bus has just kept breaking down, it's destroyed 4 distributor modules now, One each time after the autoelectrician has thought he fixed the problem. In the end he gave up and just put a new distributor in (after also replacing the coil) and that fixed the problem.
The last owner had put in some crappy chinese distributor and it was killing itself somehow.
Anyway, now it's got a new dizzy it will need to be retuned for gas. We're gonna put it back in at the last place we went to, they spent all day on it replacing the king pin and gear shift column bushes and only charged around $500 which I think was pretty reasonable.
Anyway, once it's re-tuned it should be sweet, it's been re-wired while trying to find the problem and everything else has been checked over pretty thoroughly. Now we just have to replace some heater and gas hose over the weekend, do a bit of wiring and we're pretty much done.

We painted the chassy today with black rust crap and got it all over ourselves. We didn't really plan ahead and didn't have any turps to clean it off (It was really sticky paint) so we had to walk around town trying to find somewhere which sold turps while getting comments from all the bogans about how we looked.
In the end we just had to give up and drive in to Woollies and walk around the supermarket looking like freaks, it was pretty embarrassing.
The up side is I finally got to see what I would look like as a black man.
