Second thoughts - bus now withdrawn from sale. :) Special thanks to Bermuda Blue :)

Just got back from holiday and still no sale on this bus! When I get settled I will be putting it on eBay as i would like to move it on and get some space back in my garage! :D In the mean time email me if you're interested in this solid bus.

Still available :D

Forgot to say I also have this book I will include with the bus http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1845840933/westerncrete-21" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; This is a brilliant up together project bus. I'm surprised it's not been snapped up yet. :)

1971 Elm Green over White Deluxe Microbus This bus was bought last October (2010) from Midland Earlybay (so you know it's a good one) having been orginally imported from Texas. It originally needed driver's floor sections, a new battery tray and the bottom of the nearside rear quarter pulling...

Thanks for the replies very helpful. Too be honest I can't be doing with getting an headliner and then having to fvck around unpicking and re sowing it to fit etc. Slammed - where would you buy from if you were buying again as you mentions problems with both the companies I know of? Lizzie - I...

I've emailed JR & CP Wood asking a few questions on their velour headliner and for a price on pillar and window velour but not heard back from them, so I was wondering if anyone here has seen or owns the velour headliner?(Foggy has/had the vinyl and rates that) It's £100 (not including pillars...

A very long list but first off........... Weld a small plate on the floor in the back. Remove all windows, grind and treat rust. Seal in the rat/patina look then polish. Fit new window seals and get headliner fitted. Fix fuel gauge. Clean and paint cab. That will do until the Spring.

Bump on this old thread. I'm considering this as an option for my bus - well more than considering it's what I plan to do, however as a total newbie to this sort of thing can someone please help with the following questions please? 1. Where can I get a pattern for a 1971 tin top? 2. What is...

Thanks mate yes all good! :D Good to meet you and thanks for your time on Friday. 8)

Thanks Baz That would be good mate.

Thanks mate that sounds a fair price.

Thanks mate, I've heard of Porchester Trimmers. Would you mind letting me know the cost of the job Inc the headliner please?

North Hayling mate, would be nice to meet up when your over next.

We picked up our first Bay yesterday from Midland Early Bay (totally recommended) and it seems a bit 'high' when looking at what I think are other standard height bays. Do buses have a 'standard' height or do they tend to all be a bit different? Ours is a 1971 Microbus Deluxe USA import.

Thanks mate - I'll check this out.

Anyone?? :) I've got the trimmer sorted so just the headliner people to find now.

My bus will soon be ready and then the 'project' begins! Can anyone recommend somewhere fairly local to Portsmouth to get a headliner fitted and supplied please? Also did I dream or imagine it but don't the windows need to come out at the same time? If so I would want to rubbers replaced and...

We are going for a mooch about on the Saturday. :)

Some good replies chaps :D I've a few weeks left to think about it until the bus is ready but as much as I'm looking forward to getting the bus - it is in very sound rust free condition, I'm struggling at the thought of losing my weights. If I'm 100% honest there is a leisure centre about...
