    Wanted: Moustache engine support bar

    Thanks buddy, I'll just catch my breath.....! Mrs B would cut my monthly allowance if I spent that on a moustache! I'll keep looking.

    Wanted: Moustache engine support bar

    As the title says. Hens teeth not an option! I can't seem to lay my hands on my moustache bar for my '70 Westy! I'm sure I had one but it probably got bored of waiting for me to pull my finger out and finish the job and has found some other purpose!!?? Cash waiting Peterborough area. Christoph

    anyone seen my old bus?

    Definitely in the Netherlands John, I'm following the new owner on Instagram. I'll PM a link if you like? I saw it for the last time in May at Stanford Hall. I took a couple of pics too. Love that thing!😍

    Wanted: Original Mustard Vinyl Interior.

    Hi, I have a good quality mustard vinyl copy. It's not original but it's damn close! I even had Mrs B knock up a spare buddy seat cover which I still have and it's surplus now. If you still need it PM me. Chris.

    Engine advice - is this ok?

    Did you do a compression test before the strip down? Always gives a good idea of top end conditions. Seems to be running a bit rich but not burning oil, which is good. As the guys say, a de-glaze, decoke, valve & guide inspection then replace & lap them in. Jobs a good un!

    Importing a bus

    I've mostly done a bank transfer direct to their account. It is a massive leap of faith as stated above, but most people are genuine & honest and if you've done your homework & it's not a 'too good to be true' deal I wouldn't worry too much. Get as much info as you can ie; address, phone...

    Being realistic with a budget

    You'll not be disappointed with a solid left hooked & you'll soon get used to being in the gutter! ;-)

    My 1968 Microbus Deluxe...

    Man, I love that patina! It's one of the best I've seen and I've seen quite a lot. Great work and can't wait to see this bus in the tin! 8)
