Its been quite a while since I updated this page so I will get some pics up of my progress with new twin 36 dellorto carbs and all new transporterhaus suspension





I also took the firewall panel out for a clean and the tank area was spotless!



And my new wheels from leon (sorry it took so long to get pics up)





I had a 4 wheel alignment done and camber adjusted on an all singing and dancing laser set up in a brand new kwik fit for £40 bargain

Hi Fella, can I ask where you got your wheels from?

Cheers

Mike

 

[fat duk]

Hi Mike, I got the wheels from Leon on here they are sa sprintstars and you can only get originals as they don't make reproductions!

 

[yackaboo]

Thanks for that bud, think I'm going to keep my eye open for a set, they look good on your bus.

Cheers

Mike

Well its been a long time since I last posted on here but a lot has changed with the Krusty bus.
The list of changes are-
*new paint on the outside as the inside was all original montana red
*new upholstery
*new French slammer 4" narrowed front beam and spindles
*15" SA sprintstars 4.5 fronts and 4.5 rears banded on the inside to make them 5.5"
*new seals all round on everything
*new tyres all round

I'm nearly finished on the rebuild hopefully only another 3 or 4 weeks and I should be back on the road.








The interior has come out brilliant and looks great with the red :mrgreen:




Curtains and flooring


And a new steering wheel I need to make a boss for
