Nice pics and so is the DC which is fantastic.
Motor looks like dual port 1600 but exhaust does not appear to be standard. Not many deluxe 8 seater walk thru's around. ---------------------------------------- |

no it hasnt... 
well im unsure ill call the old owner just to make sure. if i find two sets... one is urs 
|

| shaven |
well this may sound terrible... But... the 72 now has a name.
while working in the garden on the weekend... a little rain fell, it was very windy & i was thinking about a name for the bus. with all the wind & dirt around for some reason ur nose gets blocked... (now think hard) the end result, it was dirty, dark green with a tint of clear (like white)... & there u have it... i introduce "Booga" to you. sorry if i have offended anyone. matty |
||||
| Piratekombi |
That' snot a bad name...  I used to be acquainted with someone known as "Booga" - his nickname came from his long neck, like a turkey (it was originally "Gooba").

That green is about the same colour as my wall in the family room, I'm nver going to look at it in the same light again! Thanks heaps! | ||||
| shaven |
sorry about that... i bet it makes u smile but
well i pick the 72 up tomorrow @ 10am yipyahhhh when i lay eyes on it for the first time... there maybe a name change 
pics to follow of the drive home. matty |
||||
| Piratekombi |
Ooooh exciting.....
|
||||
| Brookie |
I think a name change is on cards=Booga doesn't really suit a lowlight. ---------------------------------------- |
||||
| shaven |
Brookie...
yes i agree!!! name to follow soon
well its home... will post some better pics later. Question: drove 2 hrs back from melburg (all good). 200m meters from home going up a hill its starts to chug chug 10secs later putt putt pop pop Bang. i look into the engine bay & there is my spark plug attached to the lead lying in the engine bay (it spat it out)? why did this happen? is this bad news? Help matty |
||||
| Brookie |
Spark plugs have been known to popout on many types of motor. With alloy heads it is better to check thread in head and see if any damage. If they weren't tightened correctly it may have slowly unscrewed. ------------------------------------ |

Hey Shaven, good luck with your sale... it seems a good price, I am sure someone will be interested (I would be if I had the money available...)
So, if you don't mind me asking, what is this business that you're buying? |
