Re Advertising as this now has 12 Months MOT on it.
I think a bus with no MOT puts potential sellers off at the first hurdle.

I have decided to put my EB up for sale as a project that needs a little work to bring it back to a good standard rather spending out and doing the work myself and then selling.

Bus is booked in at Local VDubs to have the chassis repaired at the end of this week.
During the MOT one of the rear brake cylinders 'popped' so I am going sort this and check all the brakes tomorrow. I also have a small list of advisories that I am going to look at as well.

Considering the bus has been sat for most of this year, it drove really well and the motor is still good and strong!





Good honest van that was rebuilt 11 years ago and has been properly used and so has come to the point when it needs some TLC.

Lots of great added extras including all the necessary suspension mods for a great stance!

Good basis for an awesome bus or just get it back on the road and use it!

Beryl Green and White with aged signwriting and Champagne style strips. Sign writing can be removed.
Og Deluxe waistline and grille trim.
Genuine Over riders.
Creative Engineering rear safari.
Full length Vinyl Sunroof,
Functional and well kept but not perfect Dormobile interior.
Leisure Battery,
Astra GTE Corbeau Seats.
Wood rimmed steering wheel.
Empi Shifter
Lots of cool stickers - I have a sticker fetsish!!

South African 'sprintstar' wheels (I may very well hang on to these)
Creative Engineering Narrowed Weed Eater Balljoint Beam.
Wagenswest Dropped spindles.
Mildly Tubbed front arches.
Slamwerks adjustable spring plates,
KYB shocks all round.
Stock 1600 TP engine.
Bluebird Customs Stainless 4 into 1 Exhaust.

Work needed -
Both cab steps need replacing. I NOW HAVE AN OS FRONT REPLACEMENT ARCH.
Windscreen recess repair.
OS rear sill to arch repair - outer and inner.
Couple of small side window recess repairs.
NS B pillar bottom has a hole in it.
Sill outer skins were never really fitted very well.
Roof looks bad but actually isn't... I have removed years and years of paint layers.
Rear gutter and roof cap need repairs. I HAVE A REAR ROOF CUT TO REPAIR THIS
Cab has a glass sunroof fitted. I HAVE A FRONT ROOF CUT TO FILL THIS IN
Vinyl Sunroof is pretty bad and needs replacing as it's ripped and tired. I HAVE HAD A QUOTE FROM A LOCAL SAIL MAKER TO MAKE A REPLACEMENT FOR £250
Front panel is pretty good but could do with attention being an after market replacement.
Paint is very tired!

That's about all I can think of right now!

Bus is in East Devon, viewings welcome, interior is currently stripped out, but wouldn't take long to put back in and is all in good working order but the fabric on the bed and curtains are a bit tired. ONCE THE INTENDED WORK IS COMPLETED I PLAN TO PUT THE BUS BACK TOGETHER.

Message me or phone 07887 572022 for more info or a chat!

DUE TO NOW HAVING AN MOT AND CHASSIS REPAIRS THE PRICE IS BACK UPTO £9495 ONO (£8995 - bring your own wheels!)

Cheers!
Jon
