Nice 8)

Jealous of all these peeps who buy a van and use it straight away, not having to spend 8 years trying to get it roadworthy

 

[andhoops]

No real plans at the moment just going to enjoy using it and going to some shows hope to see some of you out there and as for buying a bus that is ready to use well that was the idea I just swapped this bus for a 66 split so I know all about trying to get a bus on the road so just wanted to drive one for a change

Welcome, nice bus, westy tintops rule (not that i"m biased or anything :roll: ) :msn4:

Have had some issues this week mainly a snapped front beam on Wednesday hit a massive man hole cover and sheared the bolts clean off the beam snapped in the middle because it was a home made job that was cut and welded together now had a new front beam fitted just kampers were brilliant and got me a beam powder coated and a servo bracket welded on with 6 hours notice and the guys at gingers vw of waterlooville worked on Good Friday to fit it for me so I could get away for the weekend I can't thank them enough they're grrreat
