    Jumping out of 2nd gear.

    That's worrying, I'd heard they did a good job, I've no personal experience of them, so as a precaution I've deleted the suggestion, as I don't want to drive anyone to someone who might be doing sub standard work!

    Jumping out of 2nd gear.

    You're not getting old and cynical, (well you could be!) he's done a shitty job on your box. Someone reputable who takes pride in a good job would be horrified to hear about any issues you had with their work (where valid) and want to discuss and resolve things properly to keep a happy customer...

    Busfest.

    They're much smaller than a split too, at least useful space wise, as the front seats are set way back, wasting all that cargo/living space that we have in bays due to sitting cab forward right up front. As an EV, they could have done this too as the flat battery just sits underneath and motors...

    Out of interest, is there an advantage to powder coating over traditional wet painting? Is it perceived to be less prone to chipping and such?

    Lanoguard ?

    This stuff is being pushed really hard everywhere at the moment, which to me itself is a bit of a red flag. Anyway, it is only a waterproofing agent and has no rust arresting/inhibiting ability, so it's of very limited appeal to me. (Read, none!) Let them keep their sheep juice and do the job...

    Hi, I've reworded the comment to avoid misunderstanding, you can't delete comments on here, so need to leave something in place! Good luck with your bus sale, it looks lovely.

    Hello all, hoping to get a bay window bus shortly, possibly an early one.

    Well the search is over, I managed to see eye to eye with the chap I'd spoken with previously regarding a last edition Brazilian Kombi, so I'm buying that, Built December 2013 with just over 8k miles on it. So I might not be able to contribute here much after all as it's not got much in common...

    You're a little off on the price, Danbury were selling them at around £35k at the time! o_O

    Hello all, hoping to get a bay window bus shortly, possibly an early one.

    Danbury brought in hundreds of new, late model, white Brazilian minibus Kombi's. They sprayed them various colours and converted them to motorhomes. Unfortunately they added a few new areas for rust to get a hold by drilling all over them without even dressing and painting the cut hole edges and...

    Hello all, hoping to get a bay window bus shortly, possibly an early one.

    Looked at the bus tonight, quite a nice overall bus, but far too much rot on it. I don't want a body resto. project beyond minimal stuff. They get plenty of rain in Brazil, it's the road salt we use they don't like, but in fairness we forget, most 70's German VW's were well rotted after 10 or...

    Hello all, hoping to get a bay window bus shortly, possibly an early one.

    Hello, I'm Paul, looking at a 1971 crossover later today, so may be an owner soon! Going to get a bay of some sort, maybe early, late, or even very late Brazilian. 1971 seems a strange year, lots of different spec. buses all in the same year. The one I'm looking at has the old petrol filler...
