Sweet bus dude, digging the look and stance

Get your self a thread going on "steering box scrapers" with that bus :grin:

i will do, ive raised the front 2 notches on the adjuster it scraped all the time! will be going back down once ive made it stiffer and the box is raised!

Only a little update been using it daily since getting it on the road! got us round a 10 day trip of wales had the canoe and 2 mountain bikes on the rear shelf!


My backs in bits tho the vans had a rear seat bodged in luckily i finally found a correct one at the weekend just needs covering now



Just got to decide on the colour now, Thinking of going back to grey as it should be and taking the interior out and making a replica so23 one so its a bit more original looking, will probably be coming off the road after brighton breeze if it makes it there and back

Nice having a choice of vehicles now the van back on the road

Not much has changed really on the van just been ordering parts for the winter changes, will be looking to sell my interior now so I can make a new one next year will be open to offers

So the bus is now totally stripped ready for the winter changes, mainly porsche irs 944 hubs and boxster callipers, still undecided on wheels tho, Also i plan to paint underneath as there isn't really any paint under there apart from the front arches... Decided to have a prod about as it had been painted and was treated to a few holes




The offside had been nicely covered in filler too so i now look like a snowman with all the dust, glad the rest doesn't have any paint can't be no more hidden surprises!!

I would keep the wheels you have. The whole bus looks great. I get the same with people saying to me what colour are you painting it followed by a confused look.

I'd like to if I can source adaptors as my new pcd is 5x130, now I've started on the bodywork that's slipping down my priority list

Bit of an update, both front arches are now completed, rear arches re attached and straightened, still got loads to do.


Poor pic of the front brakes

I'm loving all those little clamps



Nice work dude

another little update, the ns rear arch didn't need replacing in the end which was a bonus, shame the ns wasn't the same it had had a shonky repair in the past so i ended up replacing the panel still getting to grips with bodywork jobs, decided to joggle where possible and then weld a plate in behind where i couldn't get the joggler in, thought this would add the most strength

Really must remember to take pics when I'm working on the bus! with the rear sorted i went back to the front, got fed with the arches rubbing before and don't believe in raising it so I've started to fit some tubs, from trailer queen rests really can't fault them will have some more pics when completed

Tubs are now complete, managed to finally get it on its side tonight, the garage isn't mine and I've had to dismantle loads of cupboards as the bus is too long with a beam in the middle of the garage!


As expected it's solid underneath, going to get it blasted and repaint, really temped to change the colour

Done a bit more had it blasted and etch primed underneath, also had to change the 2 crossmembers, got the stone chip done tonight

More done


Deadlines december now for my wedding...
