71 Deluxe SA Import - used as it should be...

[61 stu]

This is my first Bus having had Beetles for the last 19years i needed something that i could squeeze the ever increasing family and dog in.

As bought off here a couple of months ago

The one owner Bus was used by the previous family to go on Safari in, consequently it has a couple of battle scars (and some dodgy curtains) but is mint underneath and inside. It also has a load of great Safari stickers from all over SA in the back window.

Since buying and registering it i've added a new exhaust, heat exchangers, been serviced, stripped and rebuilt the carb, new seatbelts all round, added a monster tacho, modded the front indicators to run clear, fitted 185/60 front tyres and soon to receive a good twatting with the stick (plus some silver on black number plates) :wink:

One of the coolest accesories though is the sliding door step that swings out as the door is opened

Thanks to Tim and Chez at Kustom Dub Werks for your help and cups of tea, hope you all like it

Cheers dude, nothing major planned other than some descreet sounds, maybe some lower profile rubber on the rear and tidying up here and there. Then i can concentrate next year on getting my 61 bug slammed and on the road.

That being said i may sercome to the lure of a bigger engine for the bus :wink:

Looks great now dude, any plans on some different wheels?

I think some fuch or some gas burners would look great mate
