my 1971 bus

[The Daggers]

just before we went euro trippin managed to get more comfy seat and new steering wheel ah much better drive

 

[easy]

Yeah Daggers nice exhaust what is it where from ,well done on the BIG euro trip mate 8)

zaust was bought from kingfisher kustoms empi phat boy stainless had to cut manifold to fit as meant for a merged system

shaggy amp was easy to install

si changing air vents to correct ones and then correct rear valance and rear arches

and changing interoir again

eurotrip was ace cant wait for next one

why did someone change it to a crossover? :?: strange thing to change the rear valance? that must have been loads of un necessary work. :shock:

 

[slammedkustom]

id say it was a crossover thats had early rear light units retro fitted rather than new arches, vents and rear valance. engine bay is totally different between the 2.

not knocking your bus, i converted my crossover to early vents etc :wink:

Nice van. 8)

I think I saw her when she was for sale on ebay a year or so ago?

Looks like she was originally a Danbury judging by the two holes on the crossmember above the the engine lid, where the little Danbury badge would have been.

[slammedkustom]

post a pic of the engine bay and ill let you know :wink:

 

[The Daggers]

here what see looked like when i got her she had two different style front arches hahahaha

 

[The Daggers]

is this any good it any old one will get more if needed thanks

 

[slammedkustom]

its a cross over, the rear should be late arches, quarters and tailights, its had early lights fitted at some point.
the front panel has been changed to a later one (a common repair) and you still have the early style front arches.
No one would have fitted a later style fixed valance and all the internal metal work, its much too big a job, plus the chassis number is in the right place.
the only change i would make is to get the right front indicators and grille

I wouldnt worry about changing it back, just enjoy what you have! :wink:

 

[easy]

Any pics of the VIN plate?, then we can be able to see from that. Strange for a early 71 to be a crossover tho.

Looks a million dollars tho and definately loving that zaust 8)

Needs a cider pump in there aswell :wink:
