My 71 deluxe.

[Blake7even]

In no order I'm going to upload a load of photos from my build.
I bought the bus as an import with a box hanging onto no engine, seized everything and all rubber parts dried to dust. Basically parts and metal bits were solid but it needed lots of work.
But this was the most rust free bus I've ever seen. A battery tray and two corner patches under the windscreen rubber. I replaced the whole section to be sure. I'll upload more as I find them. Next job dropped spindles, 4" narrowed beam and overiders.

Deffinately up to the gutter it looks so much better, mine is upto the belt line and when i get chance it will be up to the gutter

I might even go for the lesser seen factory option of black roof on sierra yellow MMMMMmmmmm 8)

With you on that one Jim, I fancy a gloss black roof as shiny as it can be. It looks right on certain colours.

Theres a small model type 2 you can buy that looks sierra yellow to the beltline, then blacl form there up inc the roof

Nice van and a great colour (just a shame to lower it in my opinion).

Ok some photos from the 'nearly finished section' it's more done now so I'll get some more up then.

I'll get more soon. Drip feeding the stream of photos keeps you keen! It'll be at bigbang in Vzi camping if you fancy a closer look/cold beer!
