Radars have now been painted! look wicked I think! Had them done solid gloss black for something a bit different. Can't wait to see them on

 

[gninnam]

WOW :shock: Those Radars look the mutts 8)

I agree that they should look wicked on the bus

[Airtime]

[steve92]

Cheers guys! have chrome centre caps for them, and shiney bolts, but they might end up black too. will see how they look! been busy restoring the westy windows this week( total arse of a job !!) so they will be going back in at the weekend, and the plates will be on. should be home next week!

Cheers Bruce. the radars look great on the bus! He's all ready to come home now. just waiting for a dry day! here's a few pics of him complete. Sitting a bit high, but once the interiors in it will settle better. Pics dont really do it justice, looks awesome in the flesh.

 

[gninnam]

Great pics - bus is a credit for all the work put in 8)

It certainly is. Massive thanks to Mick and Dave Ward for all their work.

Just a few more pics after a polish.

And just a reminder of the bus pre resto.

 

[Airtime]

Wow, it turned out awesome! 8) I really dig those black radars, well done! 8)

just a wee update.
have now cavity waxed the interior,added some insulation,varnished and refitted the head lining,and fitted some ply panels inside. need to do some technical adjustments to the hinge cover panel now as the headlining has seated slightly differently, but it's coming on nicely.

 

[Analog]

very very nice 8)

 

[steve92]

Had a good weekend on the bus Wardrobe and bed base now in. nice to get it in, it's been sat in my lounge for nearly two years!! Have carpeted the back out for a bit of sound deadening. also got the new seat stand mats in. it's so nice to have repro parts that fit really well!

Looking nice Steve! 8)
