Please don't get rid!! This is my favourite van on the site!!! I actually love it.

I wish I had the time to work on mine :( Deploying to Afghanistan next week so not getting to drive mine :(
 
cheers dude. the one thing i can say, is I will get it fully sorted before I make a final decision. I can't honestly see me parting with it. it just pisses me off :lol:
 
Mine pisses me off because I don't get the time to work on her..Shes been put away in the garage and done about 300 miles this year!! It sucks!!
 
Thanks peeps :) Got home from work yesterday. Had a
Tinker. New ht cap and a fuel shut off solenoid, checked the spark, manually pumped the carb and its pumping fuel, checked the fuel pump and its started, so I the road..........
 
Dude, I've been there, 4 years down the road and I've yet to drive my bus more than 500yards.

Put it up for sale and it just didn't seem right, once she is rolling and runing without issue you'll be back in the game. Waxoyl the bejesus out of her and run her in the midst of Winter, that's what I'll be doing. Only Tortoises hibernate :mrgreen:

Has Luke still got the same motor in Ollies old bus ? When me and Ollie were heading home from Ninove 2011 he was doing 90mph. Left me for dust, even caught an earlier train back then us :lol:
 
Yeah he has, only a 1776 but is a proper sweet motor. Built but the same bloke who is building mine. If you go that route deffo use that company I said for parts. Will save you so much £££
