This is a great night for cool buses and that rocks!

And you have to be pretty hardcore to run a LHD panel in the UK... :mrgreen:

I'm not sure about the spare on the front idea but, your bus, your rules.

(If I was going to do it I would be making a braket that comes up from under the bumper to save any more damage to the front panel.)

Nice bus Jon I checked it out at the Classic in 09 and talked to the Po at length too , Welcome to Early Bay properly

 

[the daddy]

all fully legal and all electrics work (uk spec), welding done,seals done,interior started
just the shocks to sort out!
drove lovely without any........fitted some spax adjustables wound right off.............and it bounces all over the place :evil:
gonna try some secondhand standard shocks tomoz......if that dont fix it i may just drain the oil out and run just them empty (MOT man will never know)

Hey Jon how did you get on with the Spax shocks in the end ??

 

[Guest]

yep looking tight, and loving the rimmage.

 

[the daddy]

Grazy....spax long gone, replaced with secondhand standard ones.
NOT much better but hoping they 'give' alittle or i might just drain out the oil

Awesome, I love panel vans.

How, who, where, what etc is the rear slat-blind thing? I want one - fecking cooooool 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

 

[the daddy]

Yes Rich it does abit, the joys of running vastly different size tyres (2 spares) :roll:
Cunning plan, everywhere used to sell them in one form or another. Proper all-metal ones like mine cost £100-150 i think, but i got mine from a mate :mrgreen: Its proberbly worth ringing round the usual suspects as they might still have one floating around.
