Finally got my import bus from the freight yard today. Very pleased as it is better than the pics showed it. I was also surprised to find an original, almost as new condition, westy mozzie net for the rear tailgate and it still has intact mozzie screens on the louvres windows too! 8)
My '71 import bus turned up today!! Excited

It's getting a little wet n dry then a coat of clear satin laquer. Waxoil underneath, a scrub inside. New curtains(apart from the cupboard one) and new seat covers through, fuel filter moved out of the engine bay, new window rubbers, n the front wheel taken off the front. Lowered just a touch and a propex heater. Then it's getting used!

I had a funny feeling about this one, I thought he`d come good with the piccies Took a fair bit of prompting though dinnit :roll: Looks a beauty though and that roof box is one of a kind I think. Look forward to seeing it and you and some of the events this summer

:mrgreen: Remember this one?
Well the brakes bound on the way to it's first MOT ( turned out the discs were pitted to buggery) which caused the cluth to sip, causing the engine to bust out it's oil load.....
So a bigger bill again at the garage to put that right as well....
Finally picked it up with it's mot, got 3 miles down the road and the engine gave way. Cue a scary drive back being towed on yhe back of my mates T5 down narrow country hilly roads.
Made it back to the unit 7 hours later. Of all times the sat navs decided they didn't know where they were going.
Engine case was split to find no 3 big bearing was WAFER thin and quite a bit of play in the rod n you know the score there. So rebuild time.
Engine is now rebuilt and *touchwood* all driving well. There's a bit of diff whine but nothing I'm massively worried about.
So now it's a drive it and work through the niggles :msn4: :mrgreen:
Wow, doesn't look as traumatic written like that up there does it?!so expect me to be on here a bit more with Q's now lol

I like the fact that, in another thread you are asking for pics of drinks holders.
Now that is what I call getting your priorities right. :lol:
Nice bus BTW, loving that roof box (usually an absolute no-no IMHO)

Lol, I like my costa on the run. What can I say
The roof box had to go. I'm of the vertically challenged variety and couldn't get it on and off by myself. Really wouldn't of been practical for a daily driver on the fuel side of things. And not practical to get mates round before and after every trip I wanted to use it either. Am gutted as I really like it too.

That's a cool bus mate, I'm sure someone on here would love to buy that roof box.
