The Dropped Dough Ball

Can't get over your van!

Keep having to look at it.

Wow

:lol:

 

[easy]

Cheers Scampi.

To be honest, its been a hard slog, I bought it some 7 years ago and it looked very good then, but after a new engine and bits, plus a serious amount of botched body work to sort out, here she is! :wink:

When doing the body work (took 9 months!) found all sorts of nasties like news paper covered in filler etc. The best of all was that it had taken a hit all the way down the passengers side and instead of bangingout the dents, it was just fillered over! resulting in just over 1 inch of filler in some places!! When cutting off the bottom half of the sliding door, it hit the ground and I could hardly lift it, it was nearly all filler! :shock:

Engines next. Nothing special just clean and nice. 8)

 

[Scampi]

Yes fella.

That's it man. Something just nice and clean. None of the subaru rubbish that's going in them!

Mine had a resto a few year ago and going to get started on it again soon.

I will hopefully see you at some of the shows?

 

[easy]

Gonna be at allot of shows next year, probably starting with vanwest nr Bristol, are you going? 8)

 

[Scampi]

Not sure yet!

I'll be down there probably but no show and shines for me this year.

Like having a load of cider then sleeping the hangover off!

What dates is Vanwest next year. Not seen a calender yet with dates on!

 

[easy]

Its the 12th and 13th of May.

I will be there, also sleeping in late and missing the show and shine due to local scrumpy sampling!

[Scampi]

Yes, will hopefully be there and also missing the show n' shine for the same reasons!

I will be at a few more before that show though I hope fella!

 

[Scampi]

Sorry, the bus looks great form behind as well!

[swartie]

very very nice bus mate,

do you get any rubbing from it being solow on stock wheels?

pon my last bus i had my brms and when i lowered it it was continuously rubbing.

cheers

 

[easy]

hello mate

Cheers for the compliments.

No rubbing atall, although you do have to be careful when the road is a bit pot holey (Bristol roads are s**t!) and if your carrying heavy loads.

I have lightened it up by putting fibreglass bumpers on etc, to keep the weight down.

Its even all fine with the turning circle, but don`t put on big valve caps cos you ruin everything! they stick out and wreck the arches and wheel. I haven`t done it, but i know a man who has! 8) :roll:

 

[easy]

Hooray!! the busy postman has been again! got to fit this little badboy now 8) Just out and not over in the uk yet as far as I am aware.

Finally retro cool tachs!

8) 8)

 

[Scampi]

Sweet fella.

Where did you get your hands on that little bad boy :?: :lol:

 

[easy]

I managed to get a company in the UK to add it to their import list. Cost £96 including shipping aswell! result especially as the normal ones over here cost £109 with postage extra.

Retro as you like 8)

 

[Scampi]

Good work dude! :lol:
