Need a padded dash for my 68 please, anyone got any ideas?? Thanks T.

i have just been sent a list of parts required for the resto of my 68 bay. The list is quite exhaustive and wondered if you good people of the forum could offer me some help, I realise the list is big, but I don't have a clue where to locate the following bits. Also I have all the window rubbers...

I had same problem trying to locate some backing plates, I placed an ad on the samba and was prepared to buy from the states, along came MCJ products and he supplied me a good second hand set. :)

Hi Skidsurf Yes door handles, sorry I didn't explain better. So they were just the 68 year only? Know of any links for more info. Thanks for the response.

I have a 68 bay which I was getting Laurie to rebuild the engine, however since found out that the engine is a splitty 1500. Looking for a running 1600 so Laurie can work his magic, would consider selling the 1500. Thanks T.

I wondered if the knowledgable amongst you can explain the early bay "push button" for me. I have one and wondered the following: 1) was the push button for one year only? 2) was it an option? 3)where can I find out more info on push button models? Thanks in advance.

Hi I have a May 68 Microbus currently being restored, I also have a splitty and the Mrs doesn't want me to have 2 buses. I am not here to mess you around and might sell mine, but at this time it's only a might. My splitty was done by the same guy currently doing the 68 and he's done a stunning...

What a sweet pic that is.. :D

Thanks everyone, as always everyone on here are so friendly and helpful. That's great news as I have the customs papers and title, was a bit frightened about my name not being on those papers as I bought from the guy who imported it. Thanks again. :D

Hello everyone. This topic has probably been covered before but here's my scenario. I have a U.S imported bus and previous owner did all that, he the got stressed and sold it to me. I have the U.S title and the customs 386 form, the bus when completed its resto will I assume need an M.O.T then...

Just a thought, but wouldn't you be better finding a bus that fits some of your bill. Ie no rust etc, then get it how you want it. My splitty below was a nice bus when I bought it, but wanted my own stamp and this is how it turned out. :D Very happy now!!!!!!

Well that's it!!! You've convinced me to go "Neptune Blue/ White roof" as original. Thanks for the responses :D This is it as it arrived in the U.K not my pics, the guy I bought it from took them. Hope he doesn't mind? Guess as I now own it he shouldn't. and this is it now at my restorers!

Now the splitty a done, I can concentrate on the 68 bay. Bought from the forum and can't wait to get her completed. Don't know if its better original colour (Neptune Blue) or something totally different, do fancy a goldie/brown? Any ideas or suggestions would be cool. Thanks :D

Took my splitty to camperjam for its first run out. Next year I should be in my 68 bay, fingers crossed.... Ran sweet and happy with it, same guy doing my 68 so should be as good.

Me on the left at camper jam. I now know the stig is called DAVE!!

My 68 in progress, seller told me it was perfect!!

When I bought the bus, he threw in Porsche 944 discs and 944 driveshafts. Guess I should you use those then? Trip to camperjam was the first time I used the split on a journey since its completion. I did notice the lack of stopping power!! There was an earlybay following me out of camperjam...

I do have fire protection in the splitt, so that's a definate for the bay.

What a fantastic weekend,had to go in my split has the bay is work in progress but should be ready next year. Yes I saw the guy in the mankini, whilst I was sweating like mad dressed as pappa lazarou. Anybody see me? Apart from the girl refusing to look at me behind the bar, said the character...
