OK OK, I have the rest of the week off and will post some pics, some of us are very busy people :wink:

 

[Molly is my bus]

I will have to disagree with the lowering of the bus...that is not original...now my husband loves it, but I love the way they are "supposed" to look...but def keepin it as much as original is the way to go

Cheers, If you have some before pics that would be great as I seem to have lost them some how???

It definitely looked worse than it was, I think I can spot potential now. Saying that, they always cost more than you estimate.

Apart from the passenger door (which Jeff gave me a replacement) all of the rust just rubbed out.....honestly it was amazingly solid underneath. The easiest resto I have done to date and my brother and his family enjoy it now. 8)

Where's the update & pics :?:

 

[faux]

You know he leaves that to me Nick :roll: I can say what I want on here too as he never checks............. :shock:

I hear you and my bro got the seals in, I bet the doors are a very snug fit now :mrgreen:

 

[NickJ]

Hi Jon, the only one we any probs with was the engine bay but a bit of fettling sorted that, yes the doors do seem nice and tight now. Should be a bit quieter to travel in as well now

 

[nags WolVeK]

Right ok, ok.

Big thanks to Nick with the seals, all done and Van ready for Bustypes, couple of pics,

oh and Heatherfinished the curtains

 

[faux]

Nice one.

Heather doesn't look too pleased........I bet she was thinking "Tht's about right we're working away while you take the photo's". :mrgreen:

Sorry bro, we'll have to make sure you don't park too close to mine, yours is far too finished now :roll:

See you tomorrow.

Jon

 

[nags WolVeK]

Thats why the lack of photos as generally to busy working on the Bus :?. Bus is looking really nice, so obviously wouldnt park to close, might catch some of that rust .

See you at Bustypes, cant wait.

Looks good- I am craving that air cooled VW feeling- Alas, another summer for me driving a peugeot and doing what the missus tells me to :lol: - probably changing nappies!!! Have a good weekend all!

 

[nags WolVeK]

Have you had the baby yet if so congrats, How is the Ghia going?

 

[Paul_Revere]

Have you had the baby yet if so congrats, How is the Ghia going?

About another three weeks of sleep- (fingers crossed) and then I am expecting all hell to break loose! especially if he takes after his mum!!!

Ghia is slow at the mo but i am going to rope your bro in as soon as I can to work some of his magic! fuelled by strongbow!!

 

[NickJ]
