Thanks for the video, I will never let Rambus get bad as long as I am alive . People ask me at least once a week - hey you want to sell it ?? I have had it for over 35 years . and have flipped the speedometer 8 times. 8 sets of ball joints 10 motors 4 cases 7 sets of P-C . and have cracked 3 heads all due to no fan belt.! I use to get Autolina 40mm intake DP heads for 37.50 each . and I know where I got them at He was double his money . Big V bought them on pallets . He told me if He could purchase 500 at a time he could get them cheaper. I miss the good old days,

Interesting on the belly pans. Here in New Zealand brother in law had stories of the families bus with 'all the windows and a full length sunroof'
He mentioned the full length belly pan and everyone thought it was an addition as the bus got driven on the beach and someone thought they were protecting it, you can see where this is going... The cavity eventually filled with sand over the years and rotted everything out. Wasn't worth much back then so she ain't around anymore.
