Spent the laast couple of days in Te Poi tidying up a few loose ends on the bus, and we took it for a drive for the first time yesterday.

Man; but its got some grunt!

It'll spin dual wheels in second gear at least.

It's booked in for certification tuesday and wednesday of next week with Noel McMillan of Nostalgia Motors in Hamilton; but will have to be transported there.

The it'll need a warrant of fitness, the certification will have to be approved, VIN plate attached, registered, and then she's ready for the journey home!

So close...after five years of planning...and dreaming...

I'll try and get some pictures posted over the next few days.

(Sheesh...I'm as happy as a hurricane in a trailer park!)
