Dubfreeze bargain

[66nige]

Had a great day out at Dubfreeze, picked up some great bargains culminating in a firewall for a '68 for £25 I've seen these for as much as £80 at Busfest :shock: and £60 at Skegvegas :roll: so to find one for £25 was a right result!

Anyone else drop on any bargains?

Can't say I did this year. Usually do well but now the Bus is getting nearer to completion the scope is reducing. Did okay but not as good as previous years Still! did enjoy the show. Was knackered at the end all that walking round and pondering the options. Well attended again!

Not being funny but you do know 68 MY buses didnt have firewalls fitted

Yes Graham i think they were fitted from around mid '68. I just wanted to fit one to:
A. Have a barrier between tank and engine
B. Perhaps cut down the engine noise a little.

As i said i've seen these for silly amounts, was nice to not get fleeced. The earlier ones are rarer as they are different from 1970 onwards ones.

I got, what appears to be a NOS exhaust for £15, a pair of MINT 165/50/15's for the front wheels for £20 and a R&R bed for £50

Do love a good bargain. Got myself a rear valance for a fiver when I first bought the bus
