So, how is the new bus coming along? Are you getting better at driving it?

 

[DeeDeeTheBay]

Awwww we have bus twins Kim!!

Yeah she's coming along nicely! I've been soooooo busy with work and stuff at home that I've not had chance to get on here! I'll post some pics later on of what we've done

Thanks 68_early_bay, i'll send a quick message fingers crossed!

Nice bus! looks like a solid base, mine is also from San Francisco too.

Black steels with chrome caps are where its at 8)

 

[DeeDeeTheBay]

Thanks Karlos

 

[DeeDeeTheBay]

Since buying DeeDee we've changed the gear lever bush and coupling thing and fitted a short shifter, its loads better now!

We've also bought her a plumbed in fire extinguisher from VW Aircooled Works And a few more pressies, including a new tap from Clem

Will post more pics as we go on! x

She flew through the MOT!

Might go and pick her up tonight (she's at my mum and dads house) or my Dad will be trying to steal her lol

Not really, Our main plans are to make her look pretty lol replace all the bits that are broken and worn firstly, might retrim the interior myself but I'm not sure what to go for yet so theres no rush.
I think my husband and his friend have been talking about lowering it and building an impressive motor for it but i'll leave the dirty mechanical stuff up to them for once and I can concentrate on the prettiness (I've done far too much of the dirty mechanical stuff on my Mk1 Golf engine conversion lol!)

Karl fitted the fire extinguisher from VW Aircooled Works today..... Very easy to fit and very happy with it!

Also, Bought a new sink stink pipe from Ross on here (Thank you!) and also a new water bottle! We've also ordered a stormforce cover for it too seeing as it threw it down the other day and she got wet

Just need to fit the tap we got from Clem (Thank you!!) along with a few other bits and then i'll get shopping again

Nice work on fitting the extinguisher 8) hope you're going to shift the fuel filter out of the engine bay :mrgreen:

 

[DeeDeeTheBay]

I'll ask Karl

Where is it supposed to go?

 

[68_early_bay]

I'll ask Karl

Where is it supposed to go?

Near the tank above the gear box is the best place, as at the moment it's nearly touching the Pre heat tubs, and if the filter splits it will spray petrol on them causing a fire :?

Might be a good job to swap the fuel line to ethanol resistant line too and your all set :mrgreen:
