Love the stance on your bus, what front set up are you running, and what size tyres?
Have you had to tub the front and rear?
I have just bought a '69 uk bus and one of the things on an almighty long list is to get it a bit closer to the ground to stop my nosebleeds
Cheers

I fitted a new leisure battery at the weekend as my one seems to have died :roll: cleaned up all the terminals and battery space, got the old one out (its fookin mahooosive!) and put the new 105aph one in. Just fitted which was a result, then was about to re connect up the terminals when one snapped?! had to do the angry dash to sort a new one. Got a new one a popped it on............result! everything works like a charm! and at the moment it can handle my amp and stereo, but i will have to fit a capacitor soon to keep the bass going
Massive voyage of testing alll new bits n pieces, ride height etc this weekend. Went for a surf over on the Gower. Everything ran like a dream and uber pleased at the look of the old girl, just perf in my eyes. One happy monkey :mrgreen:
