Hello its been a long time and miracles do happen!

[SkidMarkII]

Ok not been on here for a very long time......been looking at the for sales and rides but not posted as I did not have a bus so had nothing to post up about!

But things have changed, and thats the miracle side of things. What would you say if I told you I got a 72 crossover bus, running just had all its electrics done, comes with a foksey adjuster to weld in and loads of new parts and I have given a grand for it. Sounds good dont it?

It needs welding but that i am not afraid of and does not look as bad as you might think. Once I have sorted the garage space out for it I will get a load of pics and post them up. But please dont hold your breathe as I need to do a lot of sorting to get the baby back here.

So there you go, I am back and saying hi and I now have a bus again!

Great to have you back!!

Nice find on the '72 too - you're in good company as the crossover contingent seems to be getting stronger and stronger! 8)

Can't wait to see those pics...

Good work on the bargain! Look forward to see it progress over the coming months

Got mine for under a grand. They're still out there if you want to put a lot of work into them.
Don't know whether that's a good thing or not. :?

Got mine for under a grand.

But it was a wreck...

I don`t know if it is still worth buying a realy cheap bus and paying another xxx amount of pounds and hassle to get it looking good or just buy a realy solid bus for more and spend less to get it looking good or cut to the chase and pay good money for a nice one.... :?

lets hope your 1000 pounds bus prevent you getting any more skid marks...

Thats the whole point of buying a car/van/bus that needs work, the enjoyment of knowing you made it look the way you want it to.

Anyone can go and get a loan and buy someone elses bus! But where is the fun in that?

Anyways I got some pics up of the bus now in the gallery, here is the link. Let me know what you think!
