thanks for all the comments guys, interiors are very hit and miss and i was pretty clear on what i wanted but it always develops as you go. I'm pretty chuffed at the results though.

I have some wheels going on soon plus a few other bits and bobs.

The paint job is ok, it's not perfect in my eyes although it attracts quite a crowd when ever we pull up!

the sounds are... awesome! i haven't cranked it right up yet but the bass is really smooth with the two 8" subs.

Thanks pinhead...keep yours matt dude, it kicks ass.

I've never entered a show & shine and I'm reluctant to enter it tbh, people are always creaming their knickers over 30k split screens to notice the hard work of anything else it seems. Plus i've seen how some folk treat a bus when it's on display and I think i would end up knocking someone out for dragging their backpack down me sliding door or letting their kid bounce around on the seats.

what was quite funny is at brean last week some guy was in a similar frame of mind as me, parked up, walked off and his mates let the handbrake off and pushed it into the show and shine... bloke went spare! :lol:

Very cool understated custom just the way I like them if not stock, nice colour choice too.

Looking top notch love the entire van, interior looks A1, hope you don't mind me asking who did the trimming?

Also no offence and I may be wrong but not sure about the fuel filter in the engine bay? Check as I think it could be prone to heat attack, mine has a metal pipe in there and the FF out towards the front of the bus

Hi mate, bromsgrove did it. yeah i know the fuel filter isnt ideal, it's fine and doesn't get hot at all.

If it wasn't there from the start i wouldn't have one at all, but it was and when you see how much shit it catches in it just haven't the heart to remove it.

I plan to work on the engine bay next, you say yours is mounted at the front of the bus? i would be interested to see exactly where this is.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Filter could go above the gearbox and out of the engine bay itself, get rid of the rubber hose also and have a metal fuel line, advice around on the tech thread......

At trax this year on the vibe audio stand, could of sold the burgers we cooked for a fiver each! :mrgreen: people were so shocked to see an aircooled bus at a performance show it drew a huge crowd...i was quite scared!

Our wedding at the end of last year!

Al

great job you done there fella 8) Love all the small details!

One thing you may want to get to finnish the roof off is the black trim that goes round the fixed roof section, i didnt know that it existed till last week but looks 'finished' when fitted.

Look forward to seeing it in the flesh.
