Hi Harry,
Yes your bus is very nice indeed. Nice touch getting the dealer plates too! I was wondering is the belt trim original? It looks like stainless steel. I am unsure whether to replace my original belt trim with stainless steel. I think the original looked like polished stainless steel anyway! Dilemma time... :cry:

Hi LV,

Trim is stainles steel and i'm very happy with it, doesn't dent that easy like the original ally ones and the shine is lasting.
 
Hi DH,

Very nice! You expecting a bad winter? ;)

Piccys when fitted please! :lol: What's the clearence like? Splitty 15" are a little narrower? 4" Guess that'll offset the larger increase in tyre width?

Split rims are 4.5 wide, i'm going fo the more adventures look and a westy is meant to be that way :mrgreen:
Had this in mind for a long time and this bus did it for me ;)

I think my 6 rib gearbox can come up for sale now :mrgreen:
 
Love it Harry. Those 15's look way too nice to mount.

You've clearly been spending too much time on the samba. Very American look you're going for. ;)

Hi DH,

Yes!! I have seen the S X U X R X F bus before, it's a lovely early westy. When i need new tyres, I'm gonna go the same look, just need to keep my eyes peeled for cheap spitty rims and maybe some mud tyres or A/T...

Can't imagine you off roading your mint bus tho!

yeah i like the surfbus look as well - ive got a bull bar somewhere i was going to put on as well!! my bus looks like its already been off road anyway :lol:
 
Tires and hubcap springs are mounted, next week i change the wheels.
Not planning anything radical just the bigmeat tires, think i will have a new car segment
Range Glamper :mrgreen:
 
Ok here are the first crappy Phone pics, wil make some better ones in daylight with a proper camera.
Drives great, don't need my cp gearbox now :D , and steering is easier :D
