Well done!

I'm looking forward to seeing this one in progress, a different style to your last one.

I still think a cool family camper won't be far away!

[slammedresto]

had a chat with the missus, she prefered the westy, so im gonna get this one motd and lowered, will be for sale at Volksworld

Its nice and solid, but just not a keeper...........hate to say it but i preferred the red 69, more patina to it :lol:

 

[kempy]

i must admit i was shocked when you sold the red69.

 

[slammedresto]

i must admit i was shocked when you sold the red69.

well, i was thinking the blue one was gonna be a lot better

its nice enough, but i just dont have the vibe from it,

the red one drove like a dream too, best bus ive driven, unfortunately with a 6mth old nipper money talks :wink:

the new owner has joined up tho which is cool 8)

You can't go wrong with a westy. 8)

Since my little one was born I have owned a 52 Panel and a 60 Panel and they were cool but not family friendly.

Since owning the Westy pop top I have menaged to get away with the family loads.......I think that is a good thing!!!!??? :lol:

You got to have one in your life.

 

[slammedresto]

may have found me a 70 westy pop top 8)

in the meantime heres a few pre sale updates

beam off

cb adjusters welded on and beam back on

wagenwest horsehoes fitted

back down on a set of gas burners ( available with the bus for £7.5k)

*** all work done by dubz-by-dan.co.uk***

highly recommended essex vw specialist

That looks awesome - somebody buy this cool bus!!!

Does the bus sit lower on the gas burners, or the OG rims? The GB's do appear to fill the arches more, but the OG rims look more tucked in.

Guess it's down to the offset and tyre combo... For future reference could you say what tyre combo's are on the GB's and the OG rims.

Also, how much drop do the CB adjusters lower the front by?

Thank you

 

[slammedresto]

the OG rims tuck in much better, as they have a 38 offset

got a tyre issue on the rear, as it rubs the inner arch at the mo, GB have a 20 offset, 175/55/15 fronts, 185/65/15 rears

didnt measure the drop, rear is down 3 1/4
front at least 6 inches

 

[slammedresto]

flexible on price with the gasburners included :wink:

 

[Guest]

stance looks very nice, nice pictures of the horseshoes on the rear, first time ive seen them fitted 8)

I like it! Good luck with the sale.

Will you be taking to Volksworld? It should sell there no problems.

It does look good. 8)
I've heard of the horseshoes but had not seen them till now.

Thanks for sharing.

 

[slammedresto]

gas burners are gonna have to come off

the rears foul the inner arch due to the smaller offset GBs, and the huge drop the hoeshoes give it ( 3 1/4 inches )

so GB will be for sale brand new, with 175/55/15 fronts and 185/65/15 rears, bridgstone rubber £600 firm

That's a shame. They look really cool on it. 8)
