[Barkafer]

Sorry mate working this weekend.
I'll give you a bell.

 

[Barkafer]

Here's a couple of photo's of the worst bits of rust.

 

[Barkafer]

Going to slamwerks open day this Sunday if anyone wants a closer look ? 8)

 

[Barkafer]

Hup!

 

[Barkafer]

Cleaned all the glue n cr@p off the rear load bed and put a new middle wndow seal drivers side and a nice opening vent window.
Also patched a small rusty hole in the window opening.
I'll also be repairing the couple other rusty holes and treating the surface rust under the windscreen.
Open to sensible offers, Not 5 and 6k like I've already had!
I'd like to think it's worth a bit more than one fresh off the boat with no mot!

 

[Barkafer]

Just realised there aren't many shots of the outside of the bus :roll:
So I've put that right.

Engine bay

I haven't many of the rear end.

Here's the one from thesamba a couple of years ago.

Still for sale, waiting for the right owner to come and finish the job off.
Whoever buyers her has to promise me first dibs should he or she sell her again. My first Bus, you see!

 

[Barkafer]

Hup we go for the weekend.
