Nothing doing with the van at the moment but I did find a picture of Greg's, Custard's and my bus as we arrived at Brighton, cool show!

And a picture of my Westy Trailer, I sold one a while back and wished I hadn't, so I managed to get this off Frank, it is really good, just needs a bit of tidying up:

Hi jon,

Thought you would have had this repainted and looking like new by now. :shock:

Looks good and solid though. 8)

Cheers Loxy - they are very useful.

Hi Si

Yeah, it has already been said to me, but I think when I do this one I will strip it right down and have it blasted and powder coated.

Saying that, with a light sand and oil the wood will be as good as new and the paint work matches my bus at the moment. So I think it will be staying as it is for a while yet, the suspension, wheels, tyres are all re-greased, new or cleaned up like new so many more miles in the old dog yet.

Hi Just

These trailers seem harder and harder to find, 2 years ago I bought one for £180 and this year I paid £400.... :| Westy Frank is who I got mine off, it is definitely worth contacting him to see what he has got, he's away 'til mid Feb.

The luggage rack seal i got from Schofields at Dubfreeze last year I think, £8 ish.

 

[faux]

I managed to get a couple of hours on the bus this week and have fitted a set of JL Audio 16.5cm Mids and separate tweeters. I have put them in some custom made kick panels and run them off the head unit, I'm really happy with the sound.....not that it will ever be perfect in an old rattly bus.

When I eventually re-trim the bus I will change the door panels which have some old Alpine speakers in, but they are disconnected now. I will add a small sub or 6x9's when I can decide where they should go, preferably unseen.

I'll post some pics when it is light enough to take a photo.

Somebody must be buying them cheap and then floggin them on at a profit, that tends to inflate the market. :roll: :lol:
I paid £200 for mine the same weekend you got your first one Jon and Westy Frank as always charged well for these. It makes you sick because they go for nothing over in Germany where he gets them.

Im tempted to go for the one on ebay right now, but its a soft top £299

Dont think a lid would be too hard to make. You could copy my hinges then its just 4 bits of angle and some marine ply. You could either leave it like that or put a period roof rack on it or just bolt on some classic car style roof rails which was what i was going to do to mine till i found the correct rack.
Price seems about right i would think these days in this country.

Im sure something can be arranged. If someone can get it to me on route back from Ninove next month i can bring it to Exeter and then bring it up to you a week or so later.
