The last couple of weeks we have left of lot of guess work on the table of how we are going to proceed with 464 and if it is the end of not for this wonderful bus. So those that can find and read our blog site you can have the first insight into the plan and how we are going to move forward with the project of 464.
A few weeks ago we gave the options that we had and some of you thought we would be best to scrap the bus and get something else, some were for sell it. however the majority was for replace the engine.
We can now confirm that we have gone with the replace the engine option. This is a great expense to us. But it is the best option we have moving forward.
This is the best option as the other two options require us to get a new vehicle which could be a new level of unknown.
Where as at the moment we know what the flaws are with the vehicle and what work need to be done, for example we know the chassis is in good condition with only a few sections being poor state but mostly cosmetic with only minor repairs being needed to it. All the other jobs that are left are simple jobs that we would of needed to do regardless of if the engine was being a pain or not.
So Myself and Shaun have decided that the engine will be replaced and this is out of our own pocket and not Mancbuses Limited funds this is so the job can be done if we wait for Mancbuses to have the funds we are looking at many years. And before you say well if you two have the money why hasn’t it been done. Well simply we don’t have the money we have had to lend the money from a family member with myself and Shaun name to it.
We don’t currently have a date for the engine to be replaced and we are awaiting for a date. However soon as the date is there it will be away and should come back with a nice working engine in place leaving us with just the base jobs todo then MOT and we will be back on the road.
Was this what you was thinking we would do?
