My 1971 Deluxe from the boys at Kieft en Klok

Thanks guys!! had some help this time round as lost heart and a bit of confidence after the last time.... But so far just over 100miles on the clock and things are going well. Been a long slog but friends have really helped out!!! Here are some pics now the bumpers are fitted, made such a difference to the look of the bus. Also temp & pressure gauges wired up, so so happy. Looking forward to Camperjam, will be on the Airteriors stand on Saturday come and say hello.

Will need to get the vintage speed sorts trimmed as touching the over rider.

Back from Camperjam all safe and sound!! Great run up and back motor run in will drop the oil in another 100miles, received this Friday from Aspro!!

One of the best vans on this forum. It gets my vote for best interior.
All it needs is a white logo on the front IMHO.

 

[Bay-low71]

What a nice weekend at DATC this year always nice to have a show in your home town.
Really please got awarded best bay and Runner up for best in show!!! Nipped at the post by a beautiful Devon split Jason Bonds, featured in last months Camper & Bus...a worthy winner.

Couple of cheeky pics from this evening family time, cruise and a meal hope this summer never ends!!

Well done Ben! arty0049:

I'm gutted I missed the show.. would love to see your bus up close sometime!

 

[Bay-low71]

Thanks guys!! It's been the hardest thing if ever done although still got lots of things to its useable at last...

Hope to get to some more shows before the seasons out probably just for the day as Kirsty is getting big now just under 3 months before baby number 2... So possibly Sunday only to Eastnor and Sunday only for Busfest !! Happy days, catch up soon guys....

 

[Bay-low71]

Cracking day out at Bourton on the water today!!

Great family shot

And Finnian

Moving shot

Great place to visit, definitely going again before the summer hols are out

 

[Resto-raider]

Are you taking the van to Busfest? I would love to see it in the flesh.

 

[Bay-low71]

Hoping to go along on the Sunday only, Kirsty will only have 4 weeks before baby no. 2 comes along by then so maybe a solo trip!! Heading to Eastnor Sunday 2!!

 

[Bay-low71]

Now that was a wet a wild Sunday at Eastnor Castle Camper & Bus show. However it wasn't a wasted trip. Took 'Best Inside Job' very pleased, with Gregs bay taking 'Coolest Bay'.

Next to the earliest bay in the UK me thinks..

Close up

Hoping to get a feature in the mag now!!

 

[Resto-raider]

Congrats. Well deserved.

Beautiful mate. . The interior is something of a dream.. lovely bus

 

[gninnam]

Well done and well deserved (and a cool trophy 8) )

 

[Grazy]

Well done fella , glad you have not put a front plate on ! , Are you going to put a VW badge on the front ?

 

[Bay-low71]

No going to roll without front badge I like it without, thanks for the comments though guys it's been great being able to use the bus. This weekend to North Devon with the dog Winston coming 2. This is the next test, especially with Kirsty 8 weeks away from baby no.2, exciting times ahead, and a new awning for me to sleep in will have to be purchased for next season.

 

[Bay-low71]

Not very well prepared, packing the bus 2mo and off to North Devon for the weekend 2mo. Also big Sunday with Winston this time should be a big test. Bring some pics from Big Sunday 2!!

That's his excited face!!
