The new bus to keep.............I wish! 71 niagra westy

[leon]

Just taken delivery of this bus and had a right good look around. Can't believe how good it all is. Never before have I seen a front panel that hasn't been smashed to pieces. The underneath is rock solid and the interior is complete but needs a good tidy. The back end is all that lets it down, having appeared to have had a few incidents with posts/cars/trees etc.
Plan is to clean it up, get it running, mot and registered before putting the for sales up on it.
May sell early if anyone wants to pm me about it.
Here's a couple of pics to keep you all happy.

Stripped the interior out to clean and sort the small patches of rust on the cargo floor. I'll waxoil it all before putting it all back in. Can't believe how solid it is! :shock: Hope the rest is the same.

Shiny front (well almost)!

leon nice to see its arrived mate,cool looking bus.catch up with you at vaanfest???

 

[leon]

cheers for thumbs up everyone!
Sorry lee, boycotted Vanfest this year and future years if they keep raising prices.

Finally managed to get a complete engine. Changed the gland nut, clutch, flywheel seal and O ring and replaced all the fuel lines. That'll be a few less jobs for the future buyer to have to worry about
Anyone want it before I MOT and register it? Will also be viewable at busfreeze.

Bumper on too

Cheers for coms , and i'm not a Hippy!

Did the side, but will probably need a bit more time to get it right. The seam is a bit of a tricky area to get right. I'll be quizzing guru drew on Monday.

Shiny shiny ready for busfreeze
