Thanks!

I don't think I'll fit BRM's, however. If I fit alloys in the first place, it'll be Enkei 5's or Flat-4 Sprint Stars. But I think it's going to be 356 replica wheels on the bus, we kinda like the look of the hubcaps. 8)

 

[Scampi]

Cracking work. Love the bus dude!

 

[Airtime]

Thanks mate!

 

[Airtime]

Right! Time for an update me thinks! :wink:

Two (mandatory?) before shots:

Avis adjusters welded to the beam (steering boss still removed):

Beam finished and brushed to bare metal using a steel brush on an angle grinder:

Painted black:

This quality work has been performed by the VA Slamshop. 8) Leon, many, many BIG thanks mate!

Next saturday we're going to place the beam back on the bus. 8)

 

[gninnam]

The beam looks wicked - looks like they have done a good job 8)

When do you reckon the beam will be attached then :?:

 

[Airtime]

Thanks man! 8)

Next saturday the bus has to drive! :twisted:

 

[Scampi]

Very nice, great work Airtime :wink:

 

[Airtime]

Thanks Scampi! 8)

 

[Airtime]

Work in progress...

What a fantastic unit, it looks like all those years of being unwashed has protected the paint underneath the grime.
The interior is sensational, but I think my favorite bit is the original rack, broken slats and all. Just repalce the broken bits and you are away, no worrying about scratching the megabuck/euro piece of kit.
On about page 3 I was reading and thinking of the slamming stick but was not going to push that barrow too early, then I go to the next page or so and there we have the adjusters, sweet little things they are...

But when start mentioning a lazy little run down to Espania or Toscana, I realise how sweet a time you are going to have in that bus.
We were in Tusacany in 2002 in a 1989 Syncro and had the holiday of a lifetime. Hope you do too.

 

[Airtime]

Thank you for all the kind words!
I'm (almost) speechless...

 

[Grazy]

any more cool pix of your low bus Airtime 8) is it getting finished tomorrow ?

 

[Airtime]

Right! I've been a bit busy, but here's another update!

The front is lowered!

I definately have to fit lower tyres... :roll: :wink:

Looks kinda silly with it's ass up in the air, but I didn't have time to lower the back due to this little problem (the engine is also removed in the last pic):

:roll:

 

[Scampi]

Good stuff mate. 8)

What's up with the engine?

 

[Airtime]

Good stuff mate. 8)

What's up with the engine?

Thanks dude!

Nothing's wrong with the engine, apart from the usual oil leaks. :wink: One arm of the clutch fork is broken off, the other one is bent backwards... :? I really don't know how this could happen, any suggestions? :wink:
