Streetboys old Bus

[RICH-I-AM]

Not this year.
The rear seat has been removed so just the double behind the drivers seat is staying.The whole rear is being turned into a bed untill the winter when im going to fit a RnR bed n propper
camping interior.
If they come up for grabs youl be the 1st to know(Although you will probably have some by then).

I think this window needs a bit more persuasion as it doesn't seem to be sitting quite right. Not a critisism, just worried it will let water in or work itself lose.

Any joy with those ducts?

Jon

Cheers for the heads up will take a look tomorrow, well spotted though.
The ducts are also in my(ever increasing) things to do list :mrgreen:
Cheers BTW

Just had my roof and sunroof painted :cool0008: (and bumpers).
The rear bumper was dented but has been straightend n filled. Its not 100% but itl do till i get the whole of the body resprayed (OG) in a few years + its all totaly rust free now. Wanted a more Old English white so went to the paint suppliers and hand picked this colour.

Just got to get all the wheels shotblasted and in matching paint now :innocent0001:

Did you leave the windscreen in?
Does the sunroof clear okay when you open it?

Yeh, the screen was only fitted a few weeks ago and was left in for the respray.Foresight is a wonderfull thing :roll: . Theres a small patch of overspray (at the top of the screen near the centre mirror) on the rubber but will easily be removed with thinners.
No i havnt tried the roof yet but im sure itl be ok :mrgreen: just need to get a seal now.Havnt actualy touched the van since it was painted. May refit the bumpers tomorrow. MOT due in a week or so.

Scott, having dug around an awful lot on websites and free ads etc in the US, I have found quite a number of sunroof Deluxes.

 

[RICH-I-AM]

[RICH-I-AM]

[paul]

I was wondering if your roof painter might like to do another one?

nb My TFL sticker is on the side window.
thanks Paul

 

[RICH-I-AM]

[paul]

Rusted yes not gutters thou
Dented yes one at front and one at back possibly in transit from US

regards Paul

 

[RICH-I-AM]

He hasnt replied to the text i sent last night, il try again tomorrow.
You wanting the same colour?

 

[paul]

Cloud white all over only problem is the sunroof is a replacement and is orange!
Might need a few coats!
Theres no rush on this its just that it really smartened yours up and if the price is good could do the same to mine.
regards Paul
