Glad to hear the bus is still waiting in the wings and that you are fit and well........ Good luck with the new venture and really hope you can free up some spare time to get back on it! Your resto seems very similar to mine, years in the making and then stalled just short of the finish line...

That's the culprit.... Looks as bad as mine was! No worries and glad to help. ;)

No worries :D If you take the rear left light cluster out and look straight through you will see it. I trawled the internet to find a picture for you and hope this shows it better, circled. Hope the owner of this van doesn't mind me re-using their image :roll:

Hi, always drawn to threads about 72's as I have one too. Just read your posts from start to finish and very impressed by the amount of work you've put into your bus, great stuff! Just wondered if you ever got to the bottom of the fuel smell you mentioned near the beginning? You said it was...

Ditto/WHS^^^^ :shock: :shock: How have I missed this thread???? This bus looks like it has just rolled out of the factory..... no..... its even better than that!!!!!!! Speechless ;)

You are defo not alone Andy...... I'm still trying to find time to reassemble mine also! However 1 toddler, 1 newborn and two house moves have put pay to that for the last, uhmmm number of years!!!! If I knew then all the delays that I would face now, I'd have left it well alone and just...

Hi Rich, Nice to meet you, thanks for the cooker! Dan

Still a work in progress.... but getting there very slowly:

Let's cut to the chase.......... Blue Crossovers rule! Still work in progress.... but getting there 'slowly'!

"Is there sound in space" had us stumped for a while once? Yes, drink was involved..... Lots!

Thought I recognised that workshop... Will be watching this take shape with much interest..... Phil does great work. ....and a Danbury too, excellent! ;)

WELL DONE! :D :D :D :D Looks very very 8) Proper pleased for you!

Wheels are 15" x 5.5j and tyres are 195/55 R15 front and 195/65 R15 rear. Dan

Neptune Blue does indeed rule, lovin' all the above! Here's mine having just rolled out the booth with a nice fresh coat: and here in the daylight:

Hi, I got the rear corners from Just Kampers. They were new full height genuine corners that I cut down to use just the bits that I needed. Not the cheapest way of doing it but all the pattern lower sections that I saw were really poor quality and fit. Even these aren't exactly the correct...

What with the weather and work, added to a lack of funds, progress has been a bit slow..... however I did manage to get the bus out of the garage the other weekend..... if only to look at my face in the paint :D The sliding door wasn't shutting properly so had a play with the catches and...

Ant, looking very very good indeed... Great progress! How you getting on with your front door gear... I ask as you've got me worried because I also bought new/replacement doors and am yet to transfer the locks and handles etc from my original doors.... and based on your comments suspect that...

Thanks Robb. Front beam has been cut-and-turned, and the rear has 3" stepped Red 9 spring plates plus a few tweaks to the inner and outer splines to drop it a bit more. It normally sits a fair bit lower than in the above pictures as currently it's an empty shell with no interior, engine...

Collected the Bus today! As the shutters rolled up at the shop look who was waiting to come home: Like a shiny new penny: Nearly had a disaster on the way home, the transporter had a puncture but thankfully being a twin wheeler there was no drama and the bus is now safely tucked away in...

Fresh paint meets fresh air: Picking it up next week!
