The at545 transmission was replaced about the time it was put into semi retirement, two years before we bought it. She's not quite the unicorn we were looking for but she did check of all the important boxes. The drive back was entirely uneventful save for a little brake smoke going over Lolo Pass lol! I got a good lesson on driving a bus down a grade, low gearing is your friend.
Our goal is to mostly live in her. Probably go for a trip here and there but mostly to live in as a way to simplify our lives and scale down.
I'm sure that I will be starting a thread on our build but wanted to say hi and to thank you all for being a source of inspiration as well as quiet technical support. I've learned a lot and look forward to sharing our progress. I tend to be quiet on forums these days but I will post here and there as well as possibly asking for help.
Cheers
