Thought I'd post some more pics up today.
Got a new black/white check floor fitted in.

and got me some '68 only wipers too, the old ones were not so good (thanks mike.s)

Also got some repro U.S. bulb holder's and seals the old one's were not too good and did'nt work all the time.

Gave it a good polish today too and got some ankor wax on the roof and all the rusty areas(hard work), polished the rest of it with collinite 476s (good stuff)

Want to get a full length rack now, anyone??

I love this bus! My screen saver. We are going to have to chat when it comes to suspension specs. I think the "Lunch Box" is going to get this attitude. Throw down some more pics if you can.

Bit of an update on my bus.
Its been back to T2D to get the paintwork on the rear quarter blended in properly by there paint guru Terry and I have to say you'd be hard pushed to see where it's been blended in, fatnastic job thanks guys.

Hi
Its running 185/65x15 on the rear, I could maybe get a little lower as it has never rubbed at the rear at this height even when its fully loaded. Its got a stock gearbox fitted as for driving on mororways it cruises at 60mph all day long, took it up to 65mph but engine sounds like its working very hard so I stick to 60mph.
If the box ever fails I am gonna get a beetle box fitted to gain a bit extra cruising speed.
