Cheers for all the replies, just gotta find myself a nice 99% O.G bus with O.G paint,nice patina, rust free and solid engine. Shouldn't be too hard, should it! :shock:

Gradually getting my head round it all now,phoned Kingstown earlier and have to say the girl I spoke to was brilliant,really helpfull!! Unfortunately the bus I've been after has sold so start looking again! Thanks guys for all the info,and best of luck to anyone going through the process. Seb

Yeah, been given a price of $2000 to Southampton. The 5% VAT (BTI) you mention, wasn't sure of that but i assumed there is some kind of import duty tax on this side? Think the Bus in question may have sold anyhow, to be honest it's not a bargain bus by any means but looking for something solid...

Thanks Graham, Worth knowing about PayPal,as it's a fair amount of money. Yeah has a title. I kinda guessed it had been talked about alot before,but thought i'd ask anyhow. I'll have a browse! Not in this for making money,just trying to find myself a good solid bus! Seb

Hey Guys, As the title suggests i'm looking into importing a bus and i'm looking for some advice on the whole thing. My main question really is what happens if things go bad and nothing arrives, all transactions would be PayPal so would they offer any protection? Is there anything else that...

Now Sold. :(

TTT Now with 12 months M.O.T, new lower balljoints and front brake rebuild. A few more recent interior pics.

Like Easy said 'there's something in the water'. Picked our other car up yesterday (Fiesta ST) from the body shop where it's been for THREE MONTHS, had an accident in may and although there was not that much damage they couldn't get the thing going so after being taken from one place to another...

For sale 1969 Tin Top, Due to trying to buy our first house i'm considering selling the bay :cry: , currently running three vehicles and thinking about selling this and the work van and replacing them with a converted T4. I bought the van last september from M Restorations and was a French...

Managed to get down to Bude for a week, it was our first family holiday in the van so was praying for a trouble free trip and thankfully made it down and back without any major probs :D !! Only trouble was on the way home stopped half way at Taunton services and the starter motor packed up...

Nice one Bruce, glad the metal worked out and looks like you've done a top job ;) Seb

Best of luck. If it's any consolation the feelings mutual, not going to Camper Jam but off to cornwall on Sunday for a week. It's our first long drive in the van and tbh i'm praying we get down with no probs! Van had a good service last week but the engine seems to be a bit of a mix and match...

As long as you take your time and not heavy handed its fairly simple, i kinda held it with my feet and gently bent it. Not the most technical method but it worked, only thing i bent it the wrong way with the larger side facing down not the thinner side :roll: . Seb. Sorry fella.

:D

The bed is sat on 18mm of ply, i put two lots of 9mm down and with the spacers i used it brings it into the right position for it to work. To be honest it was all a bit trial and error!! Sorry mate i can't for the life of me remember what size foams i ordered but the van is getting a service at...

Volksbits has been gone a while now, not sure about Birdlip Gararge. Shame your'e not down a couple of days earlier as there's BVF at Malvern Showground on the 3rd and 4th, not been before so dunno if it's any good but may pop along. Chhers Seb.

There's no adaptor the carb bolts straight onto the manifold, so does this mean i can't put the correct 34Pict3 back on?? Does this also mean that the manifold isn't right?? Still a bit confused by the B3 engine code though, if anybody on here has come across this engine code before i'd be...

My point exactly, it seems to run fine but for the fact it seems to struggle top end. That said i've no experience of driving these as this is the first aircooled i've owned so nothing to compare it too but it seems like it's screeming for it's life at 55-60mph, although the exhaust noise...

Before i begin i'll apollogise for what is a probably a dumb question! Took my van to a local garage today to get it booked in for a service and it's thrown up a couple of questions as to the identity of my engine. The code on the engine is B351795X which from my little knowledge would state...

I've used this trim for my headlining and for a full tintop you require 3x2.5m lenghts of 'J' trim and 1x4m length of the 'I' trim, not sure if they do a longer length of the 'J' trim although it would be worth finding out as with the 2.5m lengths they're not long enough to do the whole length...
