    1968 Savannah Beige Microbus from California

    Still too skint after the move (and Christmas!) to do anything too much on the bus but have spent loads of time driving it about and having days on the beach in 20+ degree weather in December 8) However, I did give it a service and oil change, checked spark plugs etc, only thing I have to do...

    stock seats or modern one's

    Can you fold the tombstones? I haven't looked into it much but was under the impression that only stock seats will allow you to have a child bunk up front (dunno if that matters to you OP) due to clearance issues.

    Wanted: deluxe trim behind sliding door

    Still looking, these are the two bits I'm looking for (opposite to driver's side on a LHD). I'm based in Spain now though, but don't mind paying extra postage - bus bits are hard to come by here.

    1968 Savannah Beige Microbus from California

    Took the bus up a big local mountain today, spent a good 20 minutes or so in second gear getting up the bugger but it went great - could have managed third and put my foot down but it was a bit scary and had massive drops on either side and no barrier. In my experience they're not really big on...

    1968 Savannah Beige Microbus from California

    Thanks mate, no not gone near that lol I think I'll just keep the roof rack on and try to forget about it! At least for now. Hmm.. Could you not get a large-ish piece of roof cut or something? I mean, people replace whole roofs so it can't be that hard.

    1968 Savannah Beige Microbus from California

    Started polishing the paint on the roof and the thin layer of spray can white a previous owner gave it just came off. Can't really tell from the pic as it was too bright but looks much better, if a bit sun faded, just that big middle section left - hands are killing me :lol: Oh also fitted...

    My 72 Danbury- Stock resto thread

    Only just seen this one, great progress so far! Love to see a bus being lowered etc but also going back to stock, something very cool about that, nice backstory too.

    fire suppression systems

    Yeah I saw them on eBay too but had heard of them elsewhere, can't remember where to be honest (could be here?). Think they were about the same price when I looked.

    1968 Savannah Beige Microbus from California

    Thanks man, that would be really cool. After spending time in his workshop and seeing how good he is, I've decided I'd really like to get Graham to lower mine sometime too when we're in the UK for an extended stay. It's not first on the list of things to do but gotta be done eventually :msn4...

    fire suppression systems

    Gotta admit, the one thing I miss about my T25 is being able to jump-start it from within, usually nobody could tell we were broken down :D Anyone got any thoughts on one of those Chinese (I think Chinese anyway) AFO Fireball things? Thought it could possibly be a good stop-gap until I get a...

    1968 Savannah Beige Microbus from California

    Bit too skint after the move to justify buying any fun stuff, so I've just focused on the basics. Replaced a bit of dodgy gear linkage, given the gears a little tinker. I'm also starting work on the air-con unit I got off George in earnest so as to try and get it ready for summer. Gave the bus...
