Here we go with the story
Had the 72 cross over and now that has gone to a mate. I will be working on the bus still, so will keep the thread updated with the progress that is on here.
I let him have it and he paid me for the spares I had been collecting. In the deal I got his fecked 74 bay as it was a mess and I have nearly finished cutting it up for the bin. We have saved what we could and will use the parts on our various buses when the time comes :shock:
This all happened due to me finding this bus
Thats my bug in the pic as well He is a 1970 dormobile, but has a homemade interior in him. The girlfriend has called him Christopher. Picked him up for £3,800 off a chap in Leicester. Done it this way as we are doing a big trip next year to Germany and I was never going to finish the 72 in time. Where as with this one I can do everything I need to and still keep it on the road at the same time rather than doing a complete strip on it.
Some more pics and the plan )
Since getting him I have dropped him and put a set of enki slot mags on. I still need to come down 1 more spline on the rear and I need a narrowed beam.....but I am torn at the mo as I looked at the red 9 wishbone set up and really do fancy it, but can not make my mind up! Anyone got any info on the red9 set up?
The plan over the winter is to drop the lump out and give it a good going over and just start the welding. See how far I get before the Germany trip and maybe get it in paint as well, but we all know how long these things can take!
Well thats my update and I have made my mind up that I am keeping Christopher and my bug as they are both really nice motors. So in the family we have my 63 bug, Emma's 67 bug and a 1970 bus that are all running and I have an old show car in major need of restoring. Not a bad line up really.
