Which resulted in... Next step registration! :)

Bit of an update. The previous owner did take the Bus for an MOT in hope to register it, but it failed on a few niggly things. The most annoying of which was the excess play in the steering. I bought the Bus in the knowledge that it would need a new centre steering pin and bushes in the...

Hi, are both the sets of arms Early Split or do you have any Late '64 to '67 arms?

WANTED A complete set of Late Split Window Bus Trailing Arms for an Early Bay Narrowed K&L Conversion. Thanks! Joe

Is this a standard width split king and link beam?

Yes, yes I do. This might only highlight the madness of removing the filler :( It's like I got the before and after shots mixed up :oops:

Cheers guys, I can't wait to see it lower either! 8) Small progress today, got the lights and stuff back in and sorted an electrical gremlin to the O/S headlamp that didn't seem to want to work since welding up the holes in the front panel. Thankfully it wasn't a burnt wire but just a bit of...

Thanks George, I see your the proud new owner of Jakes old Panel!! Always loved that bus 8)

Ha that's a coincidence, that's exactly what I was gonna call your now for buying it!! :lol:

Will do, or at least just gonna block it for now just to see if it does owt!! The interior is a home done jobby by the looks of things, with only the table, part of the buddy seat and the roof and side panels left of the original Riviera interior. It's all done to a nice standard and got its...

Yeah will do indeed, the bus is pretty recognisable, but I guess they all say that! I love it and actually can't wait til the summer 8)

Good to know, I'm gonna need it :lol:

Thanks for the kind comments guys, I'm leaving the rest of the Bus as is as the whole reason I bought the damn thing was those Stripes and the faded 80's naff paint job! :lol: I love how the metallic has burnt through to the Neptune underneath, but also being a Riviera originally has a lovely...

Thanks Ozziedog, If the two grateful dead stickers are anything to go by then yeah possibly so haha :lol: Yeah seems to be a cb aerial base, the wiring is cut off inside. Gonna leave it where it is as it seems to be a talking point. All part of the Buses history too! 8)

Hi all! Im new to the forum and this is my first Early Bay. I've started a build thread over in the gallery so check it out and come say hello! :D Joe

Next step (once I have saved a bit more cash after buying the damn thing!) is to build a carport to protect it I think. It's tempting to crack straight into slamming it on its arse as it only really failed its MOT on the beam centre pin and a couple of niggles, but realistically when I can...

We got too stuck in yesterday to take any shots of welding up all the slide hammer holes and the two rust holes where the filler had been, but we were out there from 8am to 6pm relentlessly, I reckon there must have been at least 20 or 30 slide hammer holes to weld and grind down. Anyway...

I've seen some filler in my time but f**k me!! :eek: Clean up time to see what's underneath... Slide hammer holes suggest when it had its spare wheel it must've had it's nose caved in...

I couldn't help it ;) And the mother load!! :eek: Phew!:(

Hey guys, thought I'd share my Bus, 1969 (1970 model) Early Bay Riviera conversion. :) How it sits at the mo... So... Lets roll back to when I first started it... The bus is an American import, with a Californian Title, but wearing a Washington State Recreational vehicle plate...
