Mojo returning ?

[grizz]

I seem to have lost my MOJO the last few years, but it seems to be creeping back.

Yesterday, for the first time since August 2010, the Grizz-Pod came out of the garage.

After selling the Anglia to Young Dan Young over the weekend, there suddenly was more space in the garage to move stuff about, first was the Transit, which is also up for sale, and I will be writing up a full for sale ad for it as soon as the time is right, unless someone comes in by PM and comes to take a look and decides to buy what is a pretty unique van/car.

Yesterday I decided to turn the Transit around in the garage so that it faces outward, and as is usually the case, a whole lot of other stuff started happening......

I decided a wash and some T-Cut is in order.

Once the bus was turned about, I started moving stuff about again, and then pulled the Grizz-Pod out and decided it needed a wash as well, as it never got washed after we came back from honeymoon in August 2010

So I will now just photos dump, as the bus and trailer does look different from different angles, and interestingly, if you look at some pics they look bigger than in others.


Sunlight.......












HOVER BUS



Washed and sparkly



Washed as well, Much better, drying next.







Just how low can you go ?



Says it all.




So next up is to sell the transit, and then get a Chevy pickup truck for the teardrop trailer.

Now to go start the T-Cut on the bus.

thanks for the pics Grizz. Always did like your build, doesn't seem like it was that long ago we were all watching it come together.

Keep after that mojo, you'll catch it yet

[grizz]

Thanks guys


NO MORE GRIZZ MOBILE......

After getting some advice on removing the Graffitti which this bus was known by, as it may put some buyers off, I have used some thinners, a couple of rags and done 4 passes on it all, soak, scrub, scrub, wash and then wiped again with a good old T-shirt.

GOING.......





GOING.......




GONE !!!!




Next up some polish and a bit of rubbing should see it almost disappear.

Next up I spent over 5 hours with T-Cut polishing and hand buffing the whole van, even the roof, which is a PITA.

I must say, it has come up pretty decently, so I hope it helps when it comes to selling.

GRIZZ-MOBILE graffitti side polished out well.



Other side done as well.

By this time I had to push the van inside again, as evening condensation was coming down.

Take a look in here, complete build thread.

Interesting how things happen.

Without any real advertising, I have sold my van.

Got a price below what it has cost me over time, but I know that I always intentionally did not keep an exact record of what it cost me.

Now the buyer needs to send a cheque, get that into the bank, send the V5 off to the DVLA and his section to him, and because of my logistics, he will have it collected on the 1st May.

I will now start looking for a decent 60-66 Chevy Short Fleetside truck to import, or maybe get lucky and find one in the UK.

I also suspect I will miss the bus, it has been a great car since 2007.

But one must move on.

Hi Brian

I have no idea what you guys have up in BC , cold weather, salt on roads etc ?

I am absolutely happy with any help I can get, the more I look the better.

Sometimes one gets lucky and finds the right truck fast, sometimes not.

Because this is a large investment I need to approach it sensibly.

I will PM you my email details etc.

Thanks for the offer.

The pillows are so cute and I love the material on the windows, that is so neat. You have done a great Job, it really looks good.

Thanks Mary.

I'd say that the best addition to the Grizz-Pod is the lady in the black and white striped shirt!
