Hi All, Thanks for checking out the thread. Last year I was working on a bus which I stripped back and had dipped and unfortunately due to the bad condition of the chassis and then a change in circumstances I have been unable to continue with the renovation. The detailed thread is below to...

I have just returned from the body shop where I have been informed there is likely to be at least £10k worth of welding on chassis.... See below photos and video for a tour of the rust and the sections... I am absolutely gutted as suddenly the project doesn't become feasible... However, he...

It was our holiday home... Bought for £450 as a full bus and converted by 2 guys over 1 summer. Sadly not many photos of the process. 5 ring burner, fridge, shower, loo, 4 bunks, double bed, kitchen table dropped into a double. Bed and the front seating area converted into a double bed too. Was...

Just been wandering around the VW NW show in Tatton park and am totally inspired and can't wait to get rolling again. The past few months have been crazy and I have been grabbing wrench time wherever I can to get the axle and brakes stripped ready for dipping.... Last time I saw my Bus she...

Thanks for that, much appreciated. S

Hi All, It's been a while but I am about to send my bus off to by dipped at EnviroStrip in Tamworth and the guy I had set up to do the welding and the spray job is flat out and unlikely to be able to properly fit me in. In addition to extensive Welding following the dip and the re-spray I had...

Hi guys. According to my bentley manual and all research the axle should now just drop out. All linkages off, cables out the way etc. Does this plate pull off?! It is pretty solid!! Is it possible that the waxoyl and 43 years of muck have fused it to the van?!? Any assistance most...

Hi, These are the 4 wheel covers that came with my Van, there are rust patches and holes in them but I know if you are going to a rat look or are skilled enough to refurb them, then they will be useful for someone. Photos left large so you can see the details: I reckon I can...

I did exactly this and it is brilliant!! Like a good Matt Reilly I haven't been able to put it down!

So my rubber thing seem to make a good Warning Triangle Holder.... note taken... I am expecting to use one regularly as I flash my hazards on the sides of A roads around the country!!

OK I didn't get gang green and rot... although tomorrow took a while to get to. Here are the polished engine cases as promised. Still got a little more to do but got other priorities for now... I have been looking into the bodywork and investigating the best way to resto and make it last...

Cheers for the nod to the strip down. I tried to look at your strip down thread but Tapatalk isn't playing ball! I didn't even think of getting lightweight lifters... I am now!! One of the bolts had gone on my case that I had to drill it out, hopefully it is salvageable. Going to take it to...

Hi Guys, Some of you may have seen my build thread http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=57233 but as I am about to start building / sourcing parts for my engine I thought it prudent to start an Engine Build Thread. I will be asking technical questions and posting my discoveries on...

I have faith in your ability to rebuild it! Build it and it will run. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

It's been a while but I have had some time to get re-acquainted with the old girl and time to start cleaning down some of the bigger chunks of metal that I have taken out the bus.... Starting with the gearbox and engine cases .... unfortunately it won't fit in a bath of Rola Cola.... not will if...
