Looks like the Flying Nun. You're welcome to use my garage if needed.

Depends on how it was lowered. If its air bags could be major. If its adjusters it might be as easy as jacking it up and adjusting it. Have to figure out if the rear still has the reduction boxes or if it has been modified to standard swing axle or IRS. have to take a look at it

Hello All,
Anthony, thanks for posting the pic of my bus and directing me here. I was told that the bus could easily be raised back up because the spindles are flipped and the adjusters just need to be raised. Some more important fixes however include; horn, gas gauge, left headlight and the stick feels loose (but I never drove a vehicle 45 years old). This is all greek to me, but I'm hoping with your expertise and resources it can be done. I look forward to joining the club and meeting with the members.
Thanks,
Marc

Well it appears we have 2 garages. Anyone feel comfortable enough to try these modifications? Please let me know. My # is 609-221-2521. I am really looking to get this on the road.

Marc, having other members cars already in the queue for this coming winter it may be awhile before we would get to help, would have to see how the other cars progress but we would be glad to help once the other cars are done.
