Hi Steve, nice to meet you last night. Thought i'd check out the site on your recommendation!
Love the bus!
I agree witht the others, keep the dents!

hi daryl. cool to meet you guys too. nice to have a local meet to go to at last! you do realise that now you found early bay, vzi will be history!! :lol: :lol:

Ha, indeed. I've been going on brickyard a lot since i got the T3 multi. I find it's more about the cars on there too.
I mainly check out vzi for the classifieds, still on the look out for my other project

also found out they charge £30 if you want your bars shortened for a narrow beam 8) , should save on buying adjusters and welding them in.

 

[steve92]

sounds good! would be cool to 2" narrow one day. really like that look. although any more it reminds me of the old commer vans!!

Have I just bumped into your bus at Dubtricks (not literally!)? Looks awesome dude, love the rims!

My missus is a big fan of you curtains and wicker basket for what its worth!!

 

[steve92]

sorry dorma, your post slipped under my radar! or should that be radars! :wink: yep it sure was my bus. its first trip to dubtricks. my girlfriend is chuffed someone likes her hand crafted curtains!

 

[steve92]

so, a few updates! after a short spell at dubtricks near harogate(vw heaven!) the bus has now had a tap from the stick, in the form of 3" lowered red 9 spring plates.the easy rider up front has been wound down to suit. it now has an ignitor in the dizzy,and the steering play has been reduced(no constant correction needed now!) drives real nice now.have also just swapped the indicator lenses for clear ones.here's some pics!

heres one for mrs dorma 71! sorry i didnt get the wicker basket in!

 

[Guest]

[steve92]

[Justin & Muttley]
