When MOT’s were mandatory , forums were full of stories of people buying campers with a fresh ticket that were complete death traps :D It’s a very flawed system I don’t bother myself, but fair do’s if you do.

This is from 1993. I’d just bought the white late bay and two mates and I bought the sierra yellow crossover to break between us for parts. It was a lhd Tyoe 4 engined Westfalia. It drove, stopped, started and wasn’t that bad. Cost us about £400 from a dealer! :D Different times.

Yeah, I had to recut my rear hatch panel with a triangular cutout to allow it to operate.

There wont be a code as they weren't painted from the factory, just the fibreglass colour. I'd maybe match the bumpers or wheel colour?

I'll have had by current bus 18 years this month. That doesn't seem right, but yeah ... time flies.

Hi Just outside Gloucester Stock wheels - yes. Stock tyres won’t fit if you are using drop spindles though as they’ll rub the arches. I fitted adjustable spring plates at the back , but you can just rotate the standard spring plates to lower the rear. I bought over a period of time , spindles...

Yes, it will fit much easier than a T25 one. They wont need to be narrowed. A Type Three hatch would also work if you can find one.

Yes, its all off the bus. I can get some pics for you at the weekend.

Yes. everything will fit back onto it. It comes with narrowed track rods and the leaves, so everything else is the same.

See some of the buses that Irvs Restos bring back to life - I guess anything is possible! I wouldn’t have the skills though, so I’d need a lottery win to pay for it.

I raised it up a few years ago for a trip abroad. Not standard height but it certainly took it above any height that would cause problems that lowering normally does. I guess if you fitted your standard ball joint spindles it would be about standard.

I have one of these. I retro fitted it thinking it would be cool to be able to open the hatch from the inside. Never used it. :)

@ozziedog Your bus is absolutely in the spirit of what got me into VW's and Campers in the early 90's though. Well used and loved buses that owners weren't precious about, weren't slaves to originality over and just got on and used and enjoyed them, modifying them and personalising them just...

My bus isn’t og paint , it had a ropey repaint in the US years ago. But it’s worn enough to have its own character now. I keep it tidy and polished but I also don’t stress about incidental marks or scratches and am ok with touching in any damage myself. I wouldn’t want a pristine bus but also...

Try a mild abrasive cleaner such as Cif in the first instance. See if it cleans up ok. Plenty of people have fibreglass roofs repainted.

T2D/Slamwerks 4" narrowed adjustable beam fitted with flipped/reverse ball joint spindles (supplied by T2D). Fits all year bay window buses but ball joint drum brake spindles will make it ideal for 68/69/70 MY buses. Gaz adjustable coil over shocks fitted to shock mount relocators to ensure...

Sorry to read this. I’ve read too many of these and the pattern is the same EVERY time.

I think they scan it and a computer matches it. I’ve done the same in a DIY shop to get some paint matched to go behind wallpaper joints.
