Hi, I need to sort out the rot under the front window but don't want to replace the whole panel as the rest is in pretty good condition.I know its a long shot but is anyone breaking a bus and willing to cut just this section for me? I could do with a few inches of the post either side of the...

That is really good work there!!! 8) Did you move the floorpan at all?...Got any close ups of the rear corners ???.. Very impressed!!!

Ahh ! That is a nice line up...Kev, that colour is cool !!! :D ..Is there any laquer over that ?... especially dig the colour of your bumper !! 8) ...But surely there should be more vans to add to this line up now ???

:lol: Great pic! Looks for all the world like you've just caught your van having a quick snack! ... :msn4:

I caught myself alight whilst up high in a cherry picker :oops: Thankfully the boss saw the funny side an let me down... once the fire had gone out !! :lol:

Hi there !...Is it a top or bottom ball joint ?... I found the whole thing a bit of a learning curve, even had to make a tool/drift to hammer off the clip holding the anti-roll bar which really didn't wanna shift at all ! ... I ended up removing the cap end that is put on when it's made ( the...

Hi Matt! There are a few threads on here if you hunt about or do a search 'Mot', you'll find them..Some peeps change the light unit and lenses, and do a bit of rewiring, while others with reversing lights fitted (us imports) do a similar rewire but put an orange bulb in there and use that as...

Hi Rob...If that was me I'd get a template by putting a piece of cardboard up against on the inside, draw thru with a pencil, taking care to make sure it's not smaller than your actual outline, find someone local with a plasma cutter and get a quote .. maybe someone on here could help you...

Hi Matt... the sludge is caused by the crankcase fumes condensing in the tube before they can be recycled back thru the system...it's more pronounced in colder weather and also in engines that are older, but if you are doing short runs this can also cause it to build up more quickly as the...

Wow! You've been busy there! Is that a new heater tube? Like what you're doing with the different coatings...I see what you mean when the van was at the critical point though, think I would've thought the same looking at the size of the tubular sections ...the whole van held by a few bolts...

Hey Gninnam glad someone else saw it, we were wondering if we'd imagined it? Poor old Basement Jaxx...Good God!! All she had to do was sing/stick her hand up at the same time... :shock:

Hi Pete, sorry to hear about your brake res woes... You could do worse than give volksheaven a ring...very helpful, nothing too much trouble...they managed to sort us out with one for our 71 when i had given up hope of getting one for the mot last year...good luck with the hunt!

Well, so much for me taking my time!!!! Just put a deposit down on a nice little 71 lefty. Turned out to be as described with just a repair needed under the window. Got to be patient now as getting it on Sunday, I'm so excited, looking forward to discovering its little quirks and having the...

Hmmm, I like the look of the 69 on that site. Wish they weren't so far away, seen quite few buses I like the look of in Cornwall.

Hi Johnny, Thanks for your reply and advice. I've spent the past few years wasting money and making plenty of mistakes with vans so I'm determined to do better this time! Yeah, I've seen lots of scary 'rust-free' imports at shows with huge price tags so its good to get some recommendations...

Hi, Just stumbled across this forum today, what a great site! Sorry to ask a favour when I've just arrived, but I'm hoping you folks might be able to give me some ideas as to the best route/place to buy a solid tintop (LHD acceptable). I've owned a couple of rusty UK buses before and can spot...
