The van

Uk bus RHD restored a few (6-7) years ago by the 2nd to last owner
Non-standard paint blue/purple - colour coded dash top
New canvas on the dormobile pop.
New seals all round (very good condition still)
Bluebird kustoms 3/4 R+R OG cooker and front seats
standard Height suspension and beam (not welded at all)
standard wheels and tyres
1600 cc gearbox
good soild bumpers and irons
window screens
rear jail bars

SERVICE HISTORY
The van has the dealership book all correct vins and chassis number
Mots's services reports loads of little bits and bob that has been spent on it over the years

The van is in Bristol

The bus needs the lower half sorting, jacking point out riggers and sill (inner-middle-outer) I have all but the outer sills, the front arches need replacment and the lower seat back area, all of this is because who ever restored it in the past just put metal over rot, this has all been cut away ready for new metal to be put back in.
The under side and engine bay has been blasted and primed, the roof has had a repair in the rear and has been painted white.

Price pending due to ongoing work
 
I forgot to say I have the opening windows and roof bunks in great condition that will also come with the van and lots of other spares.

:)

Last pic is how it stands now, I've not had time to work on it and I doubt I will.

It's fairly stripped but I can refit the running gear
 
Well shock horror it's being worked on!

Rhd is almost complete and every part will be here later this week to finish off the chassis.

Engine is stripped and tinware is being colour coded.

Front beam - rear suspension is also stripped ready for colour!
