En-route to Aircooled 14 last weekend - A great weekend had by all!!!

Loving the new van - we had a chance to get a night away at Breck Farm in Norfolk last night

Even the dog (Ollie) likes it!!

 

[flynster]

[davebug]

[Beigebay1968]

Ollies looks different.....must be because of the beard being shaved off!

 

[gumbo]

I still think about this van all the time since its feature. if you ever fancy a split screen swap let me know

 

[Matt Maz]

So it's about time I got the van out of the barn and actually gave it some TLC.

It ran out of MOT September last year and hasn't moved since

Work starts tomorrow!!

Took a while to get it running but got there eventually!! Daylight for the 1st time in a while

Then needed to get the roof off ready to be re-sealed - I'm liking the look of it without the roof!!

Gave it a very quick wash and still as shiny as ever

Very 8) 8)

I'm looking for the 'Like' button. Very nice!

Looks awesome with the roof off. Very sweet.

 

[Aircooler]

I like it more with roof on! Highroofs are cool!
Very nice bus! I'm looking forward to see more updates!
Cheers Reto

I wasn't a massive fan of the 14'' fuch wheels so made a decision to run some 15'' steel wheels for the summer whilst I decide which wheels I want. I'm quite happy with the look, plus it drives loads better too :shock:

This along with Balls'd changing the dreadful horse shoe plates has made a huge difference!!

 

[john the horse]

[Matt Maz]

Hope you guys are all ok...how's the new ride??

What was the problem with the horse shoes ?

The ones I had were made really badly. If you check out the Balls'd Facebook page you will see a photo of the before plates and the new ones. They were creating way too much camber ins it was effecting the drive of the van to the point that I dreaded driving it anywhere.

So after fitting the 15's it sat slightly higher at the front than I wanted. 1 click on the top adjuster and all sorted

Here we go, obviously old ones on the right -

 

[Karmann70]

Oh shit , that is horrendous ... I`ve just fitted horseshoes on mine , I hope they don`t end up like that !
