I would love to be able to say it's great but still don't know myself!!!

Loxy and i reckonised your bus and he found a previous thread when you went by a different name they looked like they may have been differnt arms in your resto thread by your last username.

very nice setup. would love to know the details of the whole braking system if you dont mind. struggling to chose a brake setup to match my wheels. they are the same as yours but i will be trying to fit 8.5 wide to the rear end of mine. not sure whether i'll manage it but will try. may need some modifying of the hub but i will wait and see.

looks good mate

Thanks for that Loxy,
The twist's are 7's all round,
I have been a member on her for a while as Nellybus, but changed job/computer,Forgot password etc,etc... :?
So had to re register.
Brakes are(front's) porsche boxster 3.2 s front's and (rear's) 190 merc fronts with astra caliper's.

PM me if you want your password reset to whatever...

is this the same custom bus that the the fitters fcuked the roof up on?

its looking tight so far 8)

I love the blue theme, bus bike and daily!

Nice to see it's moving fwd mate, I remember the roof incident too! How's the engine coming along ? has Jon sorted out your electrics?

 

[Nelly]

This is the same bus as trimmers F##ked the roof up on :x !
Haveacamper, I can't see you getting 8.5's on the back there just isn't room unless you flare the arch but then the sliding door wont open.
Spent yesterday getting wiring done so now all the lights and wipers work, Still having prob's with fuel pump relay but Jon is sending one down next week. I have had it running though and it sound's like a beast, but now i've gone and ordered some RSR stainless manifolds from states and sold the heat exchahgers as the couldn't be used to heat the bus any way bit of a space problem in engine bay.
I'll put a few pic's up you guy's haven't seen so you'll see why it's taken so long. :roll:

Thats what happens when you media blast old buses!!
And one of the back end yesterday

[Haveacamper]

Looks awesome progress there mate. some real serious stuff you've carried out. would really appreciate more pics of refitting the floor and how you went upgrading the dash. i think i had a sneaky peak through the back window and spyed porsche dials?

i'm telling you know, you arent going to be doing much camping! most of your time is going to be chatting to people who are interesting in your van.
