The second I started reading your great story about your travels in Canada I thought... no it can't be the same bus... so I went and checked my holiday snaps from New Year 2008 at the Fairmont Springs in Banff... and sure enough.......... Like any VW Bus fanatic, I simply can't...

Been busying myself recently stripping back the lower half to bare metal. Wanted to get all the cheap nasty black paint off all the replacement panels and also check there was no other issues lurking anywhere on the remaining original metal that I wasn't aware of. Happily all was as expected, so...

Thanks Johnny, primer is Upol. Dan

Me too............ although thinking about it some more, I do have a replacement beam that needs fitting which is stock height at the mo, so I 'will' need to drag the welder out for that as some adjusters will be needed I feel! :) Not likely.... I'll pass on that if you don't mind ;)

Dont worry about the Dove Blue....... Neptune all the way!!!! ...... but then I would say that, ha ha ha ha ha ;)

Don't be down about the few set backs you've had with your wiring and riv-nut gun etc, as it all looks like great progress to me! Ref the firewall that you were asking about, if it were me I think I'd definitely try and fit it for the very reason the name suggests.... Fire! It's no secret that...

Finished the repair to the lower front windscreen this weekend... really pleased with the results. Pictures tell the usual story, weld.... grind... prime: Now I don't want to speak to soon but.... I think this is the last of the required welding! Now its onto the prep....

Glad to be back.... never left really, just been lazy with my posts.... doh! Hi gninnam, good shout... I did check this by making cardboard templates of the shape of the curve as well as fabricating my replacement strips before I removed the corroded parts, that way I knew that what I put back...

Camera has been broke so been no updates for a while.... sorry :roll: Spent what has been almost literally a month of Sundays painting the underneath of the bus.... a really dirty nasty job... but it's done now and I'm happy to report that the bus is back on all four wheels for the first time...

More units have become available if anyone's interesed.... details above.

Welcome! I too have a 1972 Danbury and am always interested in seeing others, but I can't see your pics? Cheers Dan

very well done..... that is one lush Bus... top marks... spot on!! Lovin the beach.... looks like you could have been in the med.... so where exactly is it... as I may just have to pay it a visit in my Bus when done..... one day?

Woo Hoo..... Deano's thread has been resurrected!!!!! Bout time you updated these good EB folk with your V-Dubbing shenanigans. Thanks again for getting me to the church on time... and as saddened as I am that your engine let go on your hols... boy am I glad that didn't happen on our way to...

Thanks gninnam, ref the cutting.... I just scribe a line with a long metal ruler and then depending on access I 'll either use a hand nibbler, as it keeps distortion to a minimum, or cut very slowly/gently with a 1mm cutting disc in my grinder, for small tricky bits I use a rotary tool (Dremel...

Thanks Deano..... sorry to hear the Bus broke down.... although very glad it didn't happen on our wedding day.... the missus would have never forgiven us! How is the 1776 coming on? As for me, been repairing the lower lip of the nearside rear window frame, here are some progress pictures: Cut...

Thanks Chaps! I'll be back on the bus as of this Sunday so will update progress pics soon! Cheers Dan

Hi All, Just thought I'd throw in a quick post to say that I'm still here...... It's been a busy few months... in fact half a year, (wow :shock: where did that go?) since my last post and although I've not progressed very much with the Bus, in fact not at all.... I have accomplished some...

Really nice Bus mate..... loving the colour.... job well done! Glad you enjoyed Woolacombe and Croyde.... thats exactly where I'm heading the day I finally get my Bus back on the road? :D

Looking very very nice!!!! :D
