I'm sure those rusty bits at the back of your bus weren't rusty when you started restoring it Sparky. C'mon man - keep up! :lol:

They were there Steve, just covered with filler......

 

[ground hugger]

Nice,be interesting to see what they look like on a black bumper 8)

Funnily enough, that was one of the reasons for the purchase, and the other was the price. :lol:

Looks good that fella,different 8)

Dude, bow have you fixed your breather box in place? Any chance of some pics? You taking it to Dub Freeze?

 

[sparkywig]

It's fixed to the roof of the engine bay, but you can screw it to the fan housing using self-tappers.
Not going to Dubfreeze.

Just need to get yourself a deluxe grille surround and paint it black too! I reckon that'll finish the front up perfectly

George, stop telling everyone..... :roll:

 

[terrier man]

I've got a Deluxe front grill surround I'm thinking of selling, would look nice on your front palnted black, in fact that would finish it off nicely me thinks. :mrgreen:

 

[sparkywig]

Thanks Brett, waiting for Graham L to send some pics though....

After almost being seduced by an imported filly, I've decided to stay faithful to my old heap of shit.
Stripped interior out of bus ready to replace previous dodgy repairs. Not altogether convinced about the benefits of the insulation though, quieter yes, but loads of condensation pooling on the panels. :?

Another batch of transplant panels.

Rear hatch almost finished after stripping back dodgy paint and repainting yet again. Just need to get a VOLKSWAGEN badge and latch.
Quick cut and polish after fitting "new" glass and jail bars.

On a roll now, started the engine lid.

:mrgreen:

 

[creationblue]

Was the lid ok then?

Tailgate looks cock on! Sure it's the same one?

Was the condensation on the cargo floor then?

 

[sparkywig]

Yes, lid's fine mate. I've straightened the bottom edge and there's a pinhole at the bottom on the inside that needs a blob of weld along with the numberplate holes. Just needs a wipe of filler in those dings along the bottom and it'll be cock on.

The condensation was all along the side panels both sides of the insulation, and behind the carpet on the engine bulkhead. I suppose I wrung about a pint out of the cloth that soaked it all up.
