    Louvre Windows seal questions..

    Hi Clem, I saw a picture of NLA grey ones but they were still very dark - almost black (if it was the correct picture I was looking at). I'm tempted to have a go at making some sort of trim to tidy that area up instead - but don't want it to look like a bodge, so may just buy some anyway. That...

    Louvre Windows seal questions..

    Questions relating to the inner rubber seal on Westy louvre windows........ Did all busses originally have them ? if so why are so many missing ? Why are replacements so expensive ? (looking at approx. £70 a pair plus postage for a bit of rubber), do they only come in black? (which I think...

Or if you want added safety as well as added shiny - how about a chrome third brake light of some sort - I have just picked up an Aircooled Accessories 'Stop...

    Thought I would try and share a few pictures

    Hi Robcod, thanks for the compliments on the bus ! The kids love it (the missus too, and although she prefers days out/overnighters rather than longer adventures, we have had a few decent uk trips since the bus has been usable. Bought it off a friends brother who had imported it then stashed it...

    Met the Sunshine Bus - HRCC Vintage Fair at Cressing Temple

    Both of these buses were supposedly painted in Pearl White using the proper VW code to source the paint - always thought mine looked a bit on the green side, but not been up close to another before. What do you think?

    Favourite Camper Scoff

    when we camp with friends I have cooked up a big pot of chilli (slow cooked with real chunks of beef) beforehand. Whilst it is still hot wrap the pot in old towels etc to insulate and stick in a cardboard box - it will stay hot enough to eat for hours !. once everyone has set up camp all you...
