Not much more to say than; we’re working like maniacs to get rid of all rust and replace all damaged beams… Feels like and endless task right now.
Yesterday we were joined by Crille to help us out.
Tobbe continued to work on the intended “relax area”.
Welding all day long.
This is what you will look like after a couple of hours under a bus 🙂
After a slow and trubelsome start of the day, the work on the bus is now on it´s way. Due to the cold conditions at the place we were supposed to work, we have now moved the whole circus to another (and particularly warmer) place.

Big thanks!
In good company of other Wilson trailers.
Still some work to be done…
Of with one of the wheels to make better room for work.
Tobias is removing one of the other wheels whilst Andreas is doing…. something.
Over n’ out for now!
Parts of team ÅBM Racing are now in Krylbo ready to make som serious progress on the bus project. Andreas, Tobias and Marcus arrived at this huge hall friday evening where the work will take place the following week.
You think the bus will fit in here? 🙂
All righty then.
So the build begins. We started the transformation by removing all of the interior. The wooden floor and lower parts of the walls was in worse condition than we thought. And as always, we want to do a proper job so we started to tear out everything. Once the floor is out we can check all the hoses, tubing etc from the engine and drive train. Migh as well fix everything that needs fixing. We will also build a fresh water tank and a waste-water tank. It turns out there’s A LOT of free space under the floor!
I used to have a problem called “to much spare time”, and in October I found the solution! I bought a 12*5 meter tent in Mora and a Volvo bus from 1985. It used to live its life as a cargo bus but after we’re done it’s going to continue it’s life as our race-bus!
It’s over 14 meters long, over 4 meters high and 2.5 meters wide.
Big thanks to Krille who helped me with the driving!
