72 crossover resto almost finished

[Simshaz]

Been mooching on and off the site for a few months for information around our 72 Crossover that we are finishing off.
Bus was stripped for painting and once painted we managed to get her. She was imported 3 years ago I think and she is a 72 Crossover Deluxe.
Came with no engine as a rolling chassis and everything else in boxes or bags.
She has no rot and so far I have rebuilt front steering and suspension and now working backwards
Still plenty to do before we get her on the road, just a case of replace and source as we go

Looking good!!
No rust is the key starting point.
Everything else is relatively economical to sort out.
Hope you have fun and don't scratch any paint

Quick update
It's been almost 2 years and have worked on the Bus when i had time and money.
She passed her MOT on the 6th June and i have just sent off the paperwork to DVLA to get her on UK plates

Cant wait to get her to a few shows and trips out with the missus

Wau, like a new car
What is your floor carpet?

 

[Simshaz]

Madmatz Narrow Weave in Anthracite for the walk through .. also got the front floor underlay sound deadening pad as well
A little cutting required to get the seat runners etc through the carpet
Looks great tho IMO

Great looking bus - those seat covers look brilliant

Had the seat covers made bespoke for the bus, old ones were rotten and he used them as templates, he also did the door panels all round to match
