Have I managed it, pics of my bus!

[Pete B]

Think I may be getting the idea of how to get pics on this site! Fine tuning to be done, because I think this is the 'after' shot.

 

[Pete B]

Yes, that was the 'after', this is the 'before'. Will get there in the end! Just very pleased to have got this far, bit of a personal challenge! Don't want so much rake, that will be sorted when the 1303S box goes in along with the 15'' rims and smaller tyres on the back. No particular reason for posting these pics,other than as an exercise for me trying to get to grips with technology, admittedly at a very low level! Feeling quite chuffed at the moment, a beer may be in order.

Nice Bus 8)

 

[Pete B]

Thanks fella, gone the usual 2 outer splines on the rear, front is a late split, king & link pin beam (stock width) with dropped spindles from Alex at Transporterhaus and Creative Engineering adjusters in top and bottom of the beam. Bottom adjuster is about stock position, the top one no more than a third 'down'. Front tyres are 175/65 x 14 and they catch the top of the arch regularly, will be sorted when the 15'' go on. Rears are the stock 185/80 x 14 to maintain the gearing for now.
Thanks folks!
Jon, will still be needing your help 'cos I have gone the long way round and am sure there is a better way! Call you soon mate.

HAVE GOT TO SAY, might give the impression I am knowledgable about this, but would have still been pi**ing about now if it wasn't for the phenomenal help, both practical and with information, from Mr Tim Glover of Roadhouse Retro. He must have been dreading the phone ringing or seeing my car at his workshop for months! A true fountain of knowledge and more to the point, a thoroughly sound and decent bloke.
Thanks Tim.

Glad to see you finally cracked the technology :mrgreen: , I'm sure Aaron could have sorted it out for you (that is if he's as good at computers as he is at cooking)

See you at Brighton as well, I'm at Hook Road Arena thingy on Friday Night so if you are heading there come and say hello, shame Aaron isn't coming as I'll have Adam his soux chef with me :mrgreen:
