Got my wheels back today, looking good !

Got some of these to tidy up the seat sides and back

Gave her a polish. Changed the rear glass seal and the real hatch seal, still had a small puddle on back shelf after a good downpour!

Wheels look great,pain about the leak

 

[Andy_sheff]

Things are moving on a bit, got the wheels on, I prefer them to the radars but think it needs to come down some so got the beam off for a bit of modding! Got some more done inside, them panels behind the seats are a pain! In fact all the interior panels are a pain!
Just gotta run some wires to the back then I can get the floor in.

Just needs a slight tickle up to square it up, took 1 and 1/4 inch off, it was already an inch narrow apparently so Im estimating about 3.5 inch narrow when it's done.

Looks like its still got some movement on the adjusters Andy

 

[Andy_sheff]

Progress, thought I'd strip off the old underseal from the arches and see what's going on, was hoping to run Og paint under there but turned out to need a bit of a repair!







Small floor repair too

 

[Andy_sheff]

Work in progress

Trial fit, looks better !

Looks great on the new wheels mate

I just got some 15" beetle steels too, what tyres did you go for on them?

 

[Andy_sheff]

Cheers Jim! I've got some centre caps to go on them soon. 185 on the back and currently 175 50 on front but I'm gonna get some smaller ones!
How's your bus coming on ?

 

[Andy_sheff]

Few updates, I've done more but not took any pics yet, back on her feet and sitting nice on the front, just gotta fit my adjustable spring plates and maybe a small notch!
Managed to run wires to under the bed, I ran them down the heater duct!

Giving these a coat of primer, gonna rock them grey.

I've put some hours in sorting out the underside, I've done 4 arches but I'm yet to tackle the main under floor area. I've got a bit ocd about it! Also. Been doing the cavitys with dinitrol

My mates new motor, it's a funny little thing.
Hopefully Ile be in the bus and he will be in that at dub freeze.

Nice stance 8)
What you use under the arches and how was it applied as it looks nice :mrgreen:

 

[Andy_sheff]

I used a product called omnicote, heard nothing but good things about it, looks great, brushed on, no brush marks at all, it's not super durable like epoxy etc but it sticks well on a surface that isn't shiny paint, neutralises rust. I'm going to spray dinitrol over the top, I've sprayed it under rear arches and its damn good!

 

[gninnam]

Cheers - sounds interesting. Just surfing for it now

 

[Andy_sheff]

Got the hub caps on, opinions??
It's propper nose down at the min until I get chance to sort the rear.



I've been waiting to get the floor in, got some insulation from madmatz,




And thanks to a friend of mine who's handy with the wood, I have the floor sorted!





Got all the cables in place, managed to run them from the front via the heater tube

 

[Grazy]

Yes mate looks good on the steels , and im a big fan of grey hub caps 8)

Lovely bus dude, love the colour (my second favourite )

 

[Andy_sheff]

Not updated for a while but it's come on a lot! I've get some interior shots this week. Here's a few for now! I couldn't settle with the steels on!

Ive fitted a big 115ah leisure battery and split charge kit, to run the stereo, lighting, propex etc

I've also started to dinitrol the whole underside, doing it I'm stages. I'm happy with it tho

 

[Grazy]

Hi Andy looking good , Question about the leisure battery , What are the dimensons and where are you locating it , Looks quite big m I need a new one and ones in Halfords look big . Was not sure it would fit in left hand battery tray

 

[Andy_sheff]

Mine is an halfords one, 115ah code is HLB681 and it fits in just nice in the left hand side tray. Secured with a universal clamp
