I have been meaning to do this for ages (infact nearly a year!)
This isnt my first EB, I had a US 70 Westy Poptop 2 years ago that I bought from the UK (just been imported from Cali) I got it roadworthy and drove it for a 9 months or so before selling it to another EB Forum member (Who has since restored her!
)
I then moved to the darkside and bought a T5 as I was just going full time with my freelance photography and also wanted a bit of a promo base vehicle for advertising.
Well, this was all good but I soon had the hankering for an old dub again and was also pondering the idea of using one as a photo booth to go along with my business. A few days (yes days!) after this first thought I was the proud owner of a French import 1968 tintop
Il let the photos do the talking and pretty much bring you upto speed!
When I first bought her...

Gave her a general tidy up, new alternator, removed stickers, new stereo and treated her to some BRM's

My boys happy we gone old skool again

Was now driving the bus daily (really enjoying it!)

Long term plan was to fit some 15" Split steels, a set came up, I grabbed them, painted and fitted some new tyres, much better than the BRM's I think

Redid the interior panels and fitted some sound deadening and insulation

Wanted a full length rack, sold my 3 bow and got a full length made, very happy with it (PITA to paint though!!)

This is wear in gets interesting, I decided to definitely go with the photo booth idea, here is the early stages of making the housing for the PC and DSLR camera. I wanted it removable as I am still using the bus daily with my boys (all family at the weekends!)

Managed to get the bus featured Here is a photo of the completed Booth set up, pretty pleased with it. In the early stages of a re-design now I have the electronics part all proven and working well

The bus was used as a Photo backdrop at The Big Cake Show in Exeter Westpoint

Full Booth mode!!

Latest shot of the bus (from Saturday) driving back from a Wedding and I could resist this photo with the sunset coming through the trees

New addition to the family is an early 60's Motent Trailer tent! Pretty cool, bit tatty, plan is a strip, paint and rebuild inside. Will be adding photos as I go
