Good look for the trip mate I've still not fitted my mozi net from busfest either how was it?

 

[StuF]

Cheers Baz,

Wasnt too bad to fit mate - most of the holes were already drilled so may have had one fitted some point in the past.
Looking forward to the trip - want to get going now but have 4 days in work to endure first!

Should have a parcel turning up from Heritage before the end of the week with a couple of goodies in so there might be another update before we finally leave.

You look well prepared mate. Where do the toll things come from? We are off to the south of France at the end of July so might need one

Cheers Foz - great news on the repair, you NEED to post some before and after shots!

Will keep everyone appraised of our progress

Got a box of bits today from VW Heritage

Spanking new bamboo parcel shelf - for added storage (just have no idea how to install it no instructions!)

And some boring spares - spark plugs, rotor arm, dizzy cap and another fan belt!

Great service from Heritage - next day delivery for the win!

Will take more pics when I figure out the bamboo shelf and get it fitted 8)

Shelf-less

Robust brackets :lol:

Passenger side - for the wifelets maps and stuff

Funny bracket thingy :msn4:

All finished

How did the van go?

 

[StuF]

Been awesome buddy

Averaging around 60mph, no issues to speak of just need some shares in Esso or Shell!

Was running a little warm coming into Northern Spain although ambient temp was mid high 20's and bus was hitting 106 deg c - slowed down to 50-55 and it returned to 100!

Fuel spend so far €230 and have another 2500 miles to go or so :msn4:

 

[Myvanway]

Spot on dude.
