I love the look of stock rims with a narrowed beam. Nice work, looks ace!!

Yes mate as below

Had the wheels off and a bit of a clean up before taking the wheels off to Ant (AKA Mr Whitewalls)

The rear spring plates are on the lowest setting with standard torsion set up, but it's not low enough so it's looks like it going to have to come apart again and go down an inner or outer...

I went over to Ant's last night and he did a fantastic job on my wheels...

Top bloke and 1st class service - thanks Ant, good to meet you - I'm really pleased with the finished look Just got to drop it a little more at the back

 

[dubscum]

your wheels, hubs, tyres, white wall and hub caps work so well !

Nice result with the work done by Ant 8)

What next after the minor drop at the rear then??

 

[tintintin]

Not sure gninnam, got a little list;

Status door seals
Rolling Road the engine
Re-fit the water tank behind the sink unit
May get some overriders, but not 100% yet..

Also I got my Blaupunkt Kugels and Emden fitted so now I have music

Dude, very very nice bus and great thread.

I was wondering if you had a close up of how you've mounted your tacho.
And was it difficult to wire up?

That stripe finishes of the bus beautifully. Love it. So glad you didn't bring the bus to Stafford, i'd have been gutted if i'd missed it again.

It bolts through the speaker holes on the front of the dash mate - no drilling required If you want I'll fwd a copy of the wiring diagram ?

Wow, just read the thread from start to end and that really is an amazing van. Nice to meet you today. Hopefully bump into you at a show or two once my van is back on the road.

mate, I'd be very keen for a wiring diagram.

Again, one super sick bus dude!!

Been doing a bit on tinkering and lowered the bus a bit more but had to get some smaller tires on the front as the 65's were tubbing out,

Also been tinkering about with my Gear nob and have various sizes and shapes to decide upon
- thinking about making a few for sale - what do you think?

Mexican rosewood

African Zebrano

African Cocobolo

Spanish Olive

Think I'm going to go with the first one, the Mexican ball!

Also promised to build my Girls a Go Kart over the summer holidays - As ever I got a bit involved.... :roll: But pretty happy with the result..

Off to VW action on Saturday 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

KNOBS :lol:

Not kidding, they look very nice indeed and might be tempted when I get the major parts sorted

That cart looks the dogs also :shock:
