im having big probs finding somewhere that'll do it Chris.

Stripped off the drivers door card to fix the door stop which had decided to give up the ghost, pleasently surprised at how clean it is :mrgreen:

Table leg arrived today so i fitted it up, think i'll revarnish the table though, not completely happy with it. :?

Just need to give it a good clean inside and out before the Battlesbridge show now.

:mrgreen:

 

[dubscum]

love your work stu! but i think you need a longer/bigger table top

 

[chrisritchie]

so what sort of problem are thay having?

Chris

P.S I will be at Battlesbridge with lost souls

 

[61 stu]

love your work stu! but i think you need a longer/bigger table top

i think you're right mate, this is the second one ive made and im still not happy with it, something not quite right with it.

Chris, so far its been that the newer tracking gear needs to fit on the rear wheels too which they cant do so i need somewhere with the older stuff

 

[chrisritchie]

So are you going to get the back of you bus notched?

 

[61 stu]

yeah im going to see if i can blag Tims ramp for a few hours at some point and notch the back slightly, doesn't need to be much. Hopefully see you Sunday mate.

Had a quality day with the family at VW Battlesbridge today, caught up with loads of old mates and made a quite a few new ones.

They say a camera adds 10lbs, there were at least 8 pointing at me when this pic was taken :roll:

My two little monkies, who actually asked if we can camp there next year, result! :mrgreen:

hello mate - sorry couldn't have a decent chat but everytime i went to go and speak to you
, you had a large crowd round you talking bus

anyway the van looked smart in the display area

also have a quick question - are you running spax shocks, if so whats the ride like, i'm having a little trouble with tyre rub when the van is fully loaded (and the wife in the front ) and think these babies will help out

what you reckon??

i know mate i got my cloth out to polish but never got a chance, catching up with old mates and answering random questions from people :lol:

Ive got stock shocks at the front and Spax adjustables at the back.

If you're rubbing when fully loaded, adjustables would be ideal for your van, definately worth considering.

 

[61 stu]

Today i used the van as it was intended for the first time since changing the interior around. Cracking day :mrgreen:

Found a sweet spot with no other bugger about, class!

Scraped our way down the unmade road, parked up with a picnic and chilled out 8)

Decided to narrow the second hand front seat today that will fit between the two existing front seats.

Had to take 230mm out of the width, the 'oh shit what have i done moment!'

Tacked together and test fitted

Welded up, ground back, rejigged the springs etc and painted, just need to get it covered to match the others now.

:mrgreen:

 

[ChrisRooker]

Narrowed seats are going to be the next big thing!

That is some really cool work. Love the bus
