The bus is back home 8)
Picked it up today, just back from a 30 mile trip, and its great
Few pics (crap quality sorry)
Alt conversion
Webber IDF40 8) CB linkages
Just about make out the 6 Rib 'box
Happy with the bumpers too
Had a play with the wheels whilst i was in the mood the other week
I wasnt sure, but I think they look good, esp when i put the caps on
Only done 60miles so far, need to get around a 1000m on the clock before the rolling road session to smooth things out, but on the motorway managed 70 on about 1/4 throttle (basically running on the idle jets), gonna be great when i can use full power 8)
Big thanks to Jason @ Interpro for the advice and top quality work, well worth the wait.
Next up..........Turbo and full EFI, this is the prototype, next year me thinks..........
I got Friday off work, need to fix bumper trims, and OG Westy Curtains and chuck a bucket of water over it then off to VanWest, cant wait!

Love the turbo set up on that split, mind you its amazing how many turbo set up from Race Shack Jase has had to fix! most of them went pop within a few weeks :shock:
Great work on the wheels, looking grand in a type 3 style 8)

Looks like a very practical/ usable van.

A few more jobs tonight,
Never was able to switch the light on in the bus, as the micrp switches on the light were missing, infact the retaining screws fell off and the switched were in the fitting, so fitted some new ones....now i can have 1 lamp or 2 or even three, what a choice :lol:
Now for the Westy window rubbers, was not looking forward to this as i tried and failed once before due to my lack of patients :roll:
Anyhow managed it 8) covers that void around the windows nicely....
Next job, cleaning the interior, under cab seats ect, really need to do a proper job of getting rid of the Cali dust and crap, wish me luck :msn4:

Few other jobs ticked off the list this weekend, knocked up some brackets for the number plate from som ally strips I had lying about the place, the plate just wouldnt sit right bolted to the bumper.
Also made a new panel for the slider, I actually bought one off ebay but after taking the old one off and damaging it in the process i then found the replacment was bout an inch short on the bottom and the radius's were all wrong..... maybe from a late bay???
Anyhow managed to make one using what i had left from the OG one, and it fitted 1st time 8) No pics tho, its not very exciting i must say
Also spent a few hours yesterday cleaning the tubs under the cab seats, took the seats out and cleaned up the dust and crap ect, took ages but was well worth the effort. Found an envelope under the cab seat with a shopping list on the back
Something else for the bus file......
