grizzly

[biggles]

High folks just had to put this up, it's my bay nicknamed "grizzly" i did advertise it but to be honest i'm that pleased with it, i'm going to hang onto it till my splitty is done. I bought it in the states with the front bashed, the guy had run into a 460lb grizzly bear!! (poor yogi) well i just finished pulling the front post and got the new door to fit nice,so now it's just fit the front panel. Not going to paint it all just the front panel and the door and polish the rest. Keep watching folks it won't be long!

sweet jesus! a grizzly? i remember watching the orientation video in Yosemite of a fully grown male ripping the door off a car like i piece of tissue paper to get at the food inside. I wonder how the bear did after the accident? probably brushed itself down and dandered back into the forrest :lol:

nice graft!

i'm not sure whether that front replacement panel is off my old bus? did you get it from either me on here or loveacamper on VZi? and pick up from south wales?

i think i recognise the savannah beige with the Previous Owners green.

I too remember seeing this for sale on the Samba, wouldn't like to have been driving that when the bear stepped out :shock:

Also 2 interesting vehicles lurking either side of the bus :mrgreen:

just another update, got the brakes sorted, still building the engine, box is ready to go except for the nose mounting. Decided to start mopping it just to gee me up a bit and make me feel a bit better! I do like this bus, cheers for the wheels simon what do you think? I can see me keeping this bus it is so good just washed the engine bay with water, i heard a clunk as i hosed it down and blow me!! a magnetic key keeper with a spare set of keys i think someone loved this bus.

Just a quickie is the colour of grizzly savanah beige? i can't find the colour code.

[Haveacamper]

although you havent confirmed if the front panel you fitted was the one you bought from me...if you bus is the same colour as the clip, and the clip is the one you bought off me, then it is savannah beige.

 

[biggles]

Got a real problem with the colour, i can't find a code on it for some reason have been through the chipsand savannah beige is no where near! Has anybody got any idea's i want to paint it over the holiday if i can.

cheers biggles

 

[Haveacamper]

is the savannah biege chip darker. i think dakota biege is a lighter beige so could be that

 

[biggles]
