What an amazing job you have done on this bus, I especially love the interior, well set out and an amazing finish :D 8)

:lol: get measuring stick out!! ;)

You must have been crazy to drive it home from the docks! I do some mad stuff but this tops it, if you had got stopped your bus would have more than likely been crushed!! :cry: As for the ride, like mentioned before maybe its not got any shocks, iv used early beetle ones (which are short) all...

To be honest radars used to be my favourite wheels but Sprintstars are a classy old school wheel, my bus has got a set of bbt sprints and I wouldnt change them for anything else, the bbt sprints on mine had to be taken back and re detailed due to the poor finish from the factory 8)

Cheers dude, its true about LHD panels!! especially my early split panel with small hatch, couldnt see a thing! had to get someone in shotgun to get head out of window when joining the cariageway hahaha 8)

Cheers Ted, just got front steps to tackle and a bit of cargo floor so hopefully next couple of weeks :D :D

Got the sliding door bottom track and outer sill finished, need to fade the paint a bit once it's dried! The wavey bit is the new seal which needs battering in a bit more but should go flat once doors been shut for a bit! Got it on the ramps to make it easier working on sill

Iv done some repairs on the rear hatch and replaced the rear screen seal, tailgate seal etc, The door runner had gone so to do the job right iv got the proper bottom slider panel but unfortunately need to replace the outer sill in the process but should be able to paint match and fade to get it...

Im sticking to this thread as Ted at slamwerks did a shed load of chassis work on the bus and he posted some good pics! Il keep adding pics and info as it takes shape, Im hoping to get the bus finished for mid April so hopefully first show will be stanford hall, I missed it by one week last...

Cheers for the positive comments, still working on the 'texas' getting it water tight and solid ready for MOT and then a fresh interior re-trim 8)

well it depends on how good the frame is :) ideally id just want the outer frame but i guess people might want to sell it complete, i already have the glass in the inner frame and can obviously buy a seal from anywhere, what you got?

Im after a sliding door opening quarterlight frame (the bit that sits in the seal) its a LHD so sliding door is on the right, would also be interested in a complete opening quarterlight with outer frame, glass inner frame and good seal, thanks :)

Lurking in the Werks AutoHaus, ready for a bit more welding and bumpers re-fitting :D

Cheers Graham il be at dubfreeze so probably pick one up off you there if your taking some? If not il call you and arrange for me to collect one from you at the show, Rich

wanted front passenger seat, condition not too important as will be re-upholstered just no broken springs or tubes etc will be at dubfreeze for collection or dont mind collecting if your not a million miles away from derby :) cheers Rich

Been cracking on with the bus this week, got the braking system finished and cab floor all welded up, shouldnt take much to sort the other bits of welding required for an MOT, Im thinking of going for a full width R+R with all the interior retrimmed in the same colour leather as the original bus...

Iv got it and I'm very happy!! Like Dubscum says it's staying in the derby area, so I should get to some local meets Iv got plans to get it on the road in the next few months then get a good interior going on! Il keep this thread updated so as not to take credit off the mint job Ted has done...
