My 1970 Deluxe Microbus...pictures at last

[MMMC]

Well here it is my Deluxe Microbus...I have been a lazy arse taking the pictures so I have taken loads today to make up for it...like the number plate? Great for a lowered bus!

My earlybay sticker...its cooler when not straight!

my cool gauges....

and finally my new webers...

 

[easy]

Sound looking bus there chap, them webers look cool 8) hope all is working out for you :wink:

i followed you out of stanford hall, thought it was a sweet looking bus
i noticed the wonky sticker straight away :wink:

 

[MMMC]

Cheers guys - the webers are wonderful....would highly recommend to anyone....

Hi SK...the wonky sticker is a give-away....let that be a lesson kids...never rush your stickers! Kinda like it that way now....

 

[slammedkustom]

man it was bugging me!

 

[Justin & Muttley]

Love the bus - especially the guages, tell me more...

 

[Grazy]

Really nice bus mate like it alot , Sweet numberplate too son 8)

 

[MMMC]

cheers dudes...the gauges are well cool. Bloke in Huddersfield did them for me...he's a great mechanic - S J Baxter...knows his VW's inside out.

I think I love it. Stance is perfect.
More pics of the dash please. I haven't seen that padding before, maybe it is a US thing?

I love the patina, looks rsto from 10 metres but a bit crusty close up, maybe a nother "Pamela" bus.
Congrats, I can see lots of cruising happening in this bus, wish I was closer to join in the fun.

Very nice bus

Might be a US thing as i also have a padded dash, although i was thinking of ditching it for a metal one

Due are your running lights wired up, mine are and look cool.

Apparently the fronts aren't legal over here so i was told by VW heritage however i still connected them

 

[gninnam]

Lovin' it, Lovin' it - a very nice bus there fella :wink:

 

[Danbury Doug]

Lovely bus indeed! 8)

And yes, the padded dash was for the U.S. market.

My earlybay sticker...its cooler when not straight!

whoah! cool bus dude

my favourite colour used to be dove blue, until I bought my montana red beast

I'll be on the look out for ya round town

what's the sticker above? laaavly it is

I too got a padded dash, stricter safety laws in the US methinks

USABayDaz - how the hell have you wired up the front lights, as the are reflectors! i really should get round to doing my rear ones though

 

[baron]

ps is ever a bus was crying out for some narrow band whitewalls, then yours is it! there's a bloke who will do it for around 50 nicker, I forget who but can probably find out if you want?

You are right the fronts are reflectors originally, but i purchased a pair of bulb holders a per the back ones, drilled the doors and wired them to the front side lights

 

[MMMC]

cheers for your great comments guys - makes it all worth while....

Lobus - looks like the dash is US style - will get some more pics for you. The bus came in from sunny california... I also love the patina - gonna get some ankor wax on it this weekend to keep it looking good.

USABayDaz - not got the lights working but its on the list just a few more priorities at the mo...I'll have them working for winter.

Baron - that sticker is a Burton snowboards sticker...they are hard to come by...had to write to Burton to get them - with the promise I'd send them pics of the bus....I love my boarding.

Was in Chapel Al the other day at the bike shop...will keep a look out. Know what you mean about the white walls but I gotta get the shocks done first - i'm getting pothole fever! Will want your conatcts name when I have some more dosh...cheers
