Was good to go for a spin, nice sunny(but cold) day.

MOT passed 8) Just a new horn and reg plate bulb required, even jet washed the 2 years or roosting birdshit off the roof!

True! But my flat4 keyring that I've used for all my vws broke :( Hope that's not a sign....

She runs! New battery and started no problem once the fuel got to the carbs. Tyres pumped up, lights checked, only the horn isn't working, so looks like an MOT attempt on Friday :)

Gauge mounting looks interesting! any newer pics?

It has! Sent you an email.

Hmmm. Let's wait and see what happens when I get behind the wheel ;)

I didn't realise you could be incarcerated for cutting speaker holes in original Dormobile furniture....

Think I saw the same front rack on a split once but I guess they weren't that popular as they aren't that big. Hope that was Haveacampers Dormobile thread and not mine!!!! Mines never been welded ;) Edit: although I think it might need a little bit this year :(

Cheers! Get it running, an MOT and then catchup? You doing dubfreeze?

I believe the roof racks were bought from Dormobile at the time the conversion was performed, Original owner bought the bus from vw then took it straight to Dormobile to be converted. Had a quick look at the Dormobile brochure and it mentions a roof rack but isn't specific about front/rear...

Thanks! Yeah it seems to have survived ok other than birds roosting(and shitting) on the roof racks...

I am :( Was gonna say I'd turned to the late bays as an excuse, but think having a crack habit would be easier to explain ;)

Gonna start with the basics, pump the tyres up and recharge the battery then see how (if) it goes. Good to be back :)

Just found this in a barn not too far from me!! Tax expired August 2013 so it's been unloved for a little while :(

Can't believe you've just parked this up and not used it.... What's wrong with some people! ;)

Hi, got a set of 28 venturis, will check what jets I have left later ad let you know.

Door and Dormobile bits have all sold. Will update this thread with what I have left this evening.

Changed my address with them, bus is staying in exactly the same location on the farm I used to live on even though my address changed, they cancelled my policy and gave me 7 days to return my insurance certificate as they wouldn't cover my new postcode.

Think I've got a stock 72 shifter with all the bits in the barn, came off mine at 55k from new ;) Away this weekend but will check on Monday and let you know.
