Why is this so expensive?

[windsurfer]

It is sold

I have asked Matt to build a bus for me, once I locate a a solid shell.

I will have the Bus of my dreams complete with air ride, delux trim and Fuch alloys. Watch this space :twisted:

That's great, he seems very cool when I spoke to him and I trust him which is so important. I just need to find a solid, dry bus. He will fit a new engine (I'm thinking 1641 or 1776), slam it to hell (Air ride) and fit some disc brakes and the Fuch's. He's also going to get me some delux trim (including bumper trim).

I am really impatient but I know I need to wait for the right bus. Matt said he would make some enquiries. One thing's for sure, if it's anywhere near as good as his 67, then i'll be a happy dude!

Yippee

Simon :wink:

That's great news for you - terrific to have something straight off as you want it
Look forward to bumping in to you somewhere this year and seeing the finished result

Job done, now go find that shell

Not much detail on this one, but worth an inquiry. + A big haggle on price.

Thanks Dude/s,
That's almost perfect. The only problem with it is the fact it's crossover. I really fancied something from mid 1970 or before (Matt's orders LOL).
Like the price though, that would leave me quite a bit to do it up!
Any other ideas, greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Si

Price: £4950
Description: 1968 Deluxe Micro bus in original Delta green paint with original Wolken white roof from California. It has very little rust and apart from the L/H rear 1/4 is pretty straight for a 40 year old bus. It has a running 1600 single port engine(not fitted) and comes with a 1500 bug IRS gearbox and fitting kit so the ratio's will be excellent for motorway cruising. it has a 67 Split bus front beam with drop spindles and 15" split bus wheels with almost new 165/50 front and 185/55 rear tyres. it has a full with rear seat and 2 seater middle seat. the rear will go down at least another the engine and box are fitted and it rolls to settle the suspension. also a straight front bumper blade is included.

It needs brake work, electrics, engine and box fitting and some welding to be ready for the road really which includes one outer sill(under the sliding door) both cab floor outers and a battery tray

price is £4950 as is or £6950 on the road, MOT'd and UK registered. i can repair the rear L/H side panel for extra.

I sure like the look of this but it really would need to be a HUGE haggle! LOL

Thanks :lol:

 

[windsurfer]

I've decided that I must have a Westy, nothing else is quite so......................................


COMPLETE THE SENTENCE.

 

[BigG]

Obvious...............

I think that bus you missed really got your juices flowing and I dont think anything other than an OG paint modded 68 Westy with Deluxe trim will do for you :wink:

Go for it 8) 8)

 

[Clem]

(it wasnt OG paint....... )

For a family, a Westy is the obvious choice, there are 'fors and againsts' regarding the conversion, but the availabilty of 'dry' examples makes it a good option. The low and trimmed look can be added to your choice after the event, and can be achjeived at a number of price points and over time, so just get and source the nicest example around for your cash. I wouldnt wait for any great price drops though .... there is now a dwindling supply in the UK and the imports have slowed right down.
