Nice one bud. That black material looks great against the blue... Great choice.

Cheers, I liked the idea of going for black too

All the insulation is a big roll of bubble wrap I bought off ebay for about £15, think its about 50cm wide and 25m long! Used Wickes own brand flooring spray glue to bond it up there, proper Yorkshire me

So I drove home from my workshop about 12 miles and had to get recovered the last 4 miles!! Fuses kept blowing once it got hot in traffic, so I changed a couple of connections on the fuse board and I think it's sorted.

Next day for the maiden voyage I drove 125 miles to the inlaws,





I was about 5 miles away and I start to hear a knocking on the rear so once I'm there I investigated and found the rear top shock mounts (that I relocated when I did IRS) have snapped clean off! So I removed them and cleaned the oil off the drive at the same time, then carried on with a steady 85 mile drive to Bristol where I went to Jeffs VW shack to have the shock mounts refitted, this time a spacer made up and welded to a hole drilled though the chassis,



My wife says our Nephew gives the bus his seal of approval and he took it for a spin





Had a fuse blow again but think it might have been the battery negative earthing out the brake light connection, hopefully that was the issue but il find out on the drive back to Nottingham tomorrow,

Well done Rich.... See you at Leeds.

Cheers dude, see you at harewood house

Well just over a year since my last update!

The bus has passed it's MOT last month and iv been using it here and there, it's also made the front cover of AirMonkeys VW mag which I was chuffed about.

Just read this in its entirety, class resto job mate. Love the colour, wheels, everything in fact. Nice one!

Thanks very much, it was definitely worth it in the end, il be in it at Vw action this weekend if your going?!

Wont be there unfortunately, got a 12 week old baby so not really too practical at the moment, plus every minute I have spare is being spent on getting our van done. Hopefully get to see it at a show eventually though. Enjoy!!

can't wait for EBI 2015!!
