WANTED: early lowered bay

[Bobreoc]

Looking for an early bay.
An import preferably from dryer parts of the world
Looking for nice patina not rot.

And lowered the right way
Narrowed adjustable beam, front + rear tubs, raised engine and beam,
Adjustable spring plates etc.

And an interior of some kind

Budget of 8-9 possibly 10

I know it's asking a lot, but if you don't ask you don't get

I salute your quest - I could imagine a a stock solid import for that cash with an interior of some kind but I would be budgeting to be adding half again for a proper lowering job? Though as you say....don't ask don't get!

i'll be honest with you mate, you ain't gonna get that sort of bus for that sort of money. you're either gonna have to lower your expectations or start saving.

Hi mate welcome to forum , as said i think for the money you have you will struggle to tick all the boxes

Rob b"s bus is really well priced in my opinion , but you say its over your budget ,

If you are handy with spanners or have mates that are , it might be worth looking at a stock bus for say 4-5k than use the rest of your good sized budget to do lowering work ,

My van is a panel van and i spent £2500 on narrowed beam , dropped spindles, shocks , 4 tyres adjustable springplates

No front or rear tubs , i have no patina , and if i sold id hope to get somewhere about 8k ,

So to tick all your boxes i think you would be looking at a top drawer EB as per John The Horses bay = Fully Loaded

This is a really helpful forum dude so expand on ideas and thoughts and you will soon have a cool earlybay !

Cheers G 8)

I got the bang bus for just over 8k. ticks most of the boxes but no patina.

there's vans out there that will make you happy but all your boxes to be ticked probably amounts to 15k plus
