Thats a sweet van Steve, it is much straighter than mine was!! You going to slam her? 8)

 

[steve92]

not sure about slam,love the slam look but need to get it on fields etc! was thinking 1 spline rear drop(it already has 2 inch lowered spring plates)and the red 9 on the front can go another 2 inches,so will see how that looks with new wheels and tyres. unfortunatly the other sides not as straight! will try and find a pic of its bad side!

 

[steve92]

here you go!

was this the one advertised on Volkszone really cheap? if it was you got a bargain 8)

 

[steve92]

i found it on volksworlds website,its probably still on there!

I love your bus - just a bit lower and it'll be perfect 8)



P.S. - I'd keep the dents too!

 

[giraffeinbath]

agree with J+m, dents or no dents, it's a great looking bus.

Does it have an interior?

Not to bad, looks pretty cool to me

 

[steve92]

cheers for the positive comments! it does have some interior,the westy headlining is there and in really good shape,most of the side panels are still there and its still got its bed.the rest is long gone! it has a hand made cooker and sink unit,which do there job,but will be replaced.want to make the interior something special.

great looking bus. love early tin top westys.
custom interior is the way to go, but would def try to keep the outside as orig as possible.

 

[baron]

from what i can see the dings add character

and agreed, 69 tintop is the mutts

have you spoken to murgatroyds in hedben bridge about repairs/paint etc? i don't think you'll find a better classic car bodyshop in all of gods own county

 

[baron]
