Ol'Faithful has had a makeover...what do you think ?

[VanMan]

Finally got round to treating the old bus - front panel repaired and repainted after 27 years of having the spare up there.
Also now lowered with a Foksy adjuster on front beam set up for about 2" drop, front shocks changed for beetle gas-ajusts - what an improvement in the handling ! Rear not lowered since she is a bit saggy anyway but I also wanted a slightly front down stance - what do you think, should I have gone lower ?
New wheels are OE Porche 356 replicas (5.5 x 15) which I think suit the van with the original chrome domes, and tyres are 185/65/15 Pirelli P4's.
Hope you like the new look .

Very nice ride, the height looks good though I would sort out the rear end and lower it accordingly.

 

[taffy]

looking very good, now i know mine has to be lowered & lose the spare. :lol:

[jefo1970]

Looks superb, thats the front ride height Im after, well done

 

[Justin & Muttley]

I think it looks great - although some will say you can always go lower...

Porsche 356 rims always add a touch of class too! Very nice 8)

I'd say the stance is spot on - love the slight leaning forward stance 8)
but like they say, sort out the rear end - sounds like the shocks to me :!:

I also love the oe Porsche rims - would love a set for mine one day - much
cooler than alloys 8)

 

[Scampi]

Very nice, sitting sweet and looks great :wink:

 

[olance]

the van rocks!

 

[dubberdaz]

Love the van, wheels and the red (Devon?) interior is sweet as! 8)

 

[Airtime]

It's funny how 356 wheels always look good! 8)

Looks like the same stance/height as mine.

hi all,
last time i posted pics i hadnt lowered the rear but have finally got round to it, here are some shots - lowered by only one spline but 2.5" nearer the ground - those mudflaps they are a-scrapin! stance is now level but i might tweak the Foksy and bring the front down a bit more.
