Paras bus resto

  1. I keep dipping in and out of this resto and I think the last one was when you were talking about letting Nomad go...
    Glad to see you've kept with it and great to hear that you're hoping to be on the road this year - I reckon a rolling resto is the way forward :)

    This is no time for a sleep; you've got a bus to finish.

    Ps. Sense of humour bypass?

  12. Just getting bored of them sort of jokes
    They have been used that much they no longer carry the same humour.

  13. Plenty of cavity wax helps to keep the rot away for longer

  19. It's nowt special
    Will be built in a as 21 case
    Stock crank and cam
    Machined to take larger barrels so capacity is 1776
    All built by @robertparry
    Rob is going to 3 angle the valve seats
    It will then come back to me
    Where I will do my magic flowing the heads
    Exhaust will be a old school stock style piper stainless exhaust which I personally think is a great exhaust for a bus
    Carbs I was going to run a stock intake and carb with some flow work on the manifold ends
    I am tempted however by a pair of kadrons if the price is right


    Malcolm don't show signs of anger or try to push someone when there not ready to
    It's not a good trait and it doesn't suit you
