i appreciate all the support as this is the first resto i have done , my mates use to come to me in the shed and say you havent done anything what have you been doing all this time out here , shit it use to piss me off id be welding and sanding for weeks and get a dickhead telling me it looked the same as when i started.
i guess this is why i ended up posting some pics to get alittle support as anyone who has been through this will know how much work is involved and how it sends you crazy at times
thanks again darren
fan-bloody-tastic!
¯`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.-> Keepin' it Real !!
man ooooooohhhhhh man ,every thing about your bus is beautiful. congrats. bloody clever bugga!
this was in the spray booth ,i was and am still very happy with the bus , i nearly broke my jaw that day it hurt so much from that smile, lucky the wind didnt change.
i probably will brake my jaw when i get to drive it for the first 5000 times

ps: This bus is rated 😎😎++++
So what is stopping this thing from the road bro?
THE LOWEST WITH THE MOSTEST BLING BLING WINS!!
I think Darren is sorting out the drive train.
last I spoke to him he had fitted the brake booster.
This is a way cool bus, cant wait to see it on the road.
How about some more pics.
Cheers
Dave
its on the road sort of been test driven it with no seat and the safaris cracked wide open , not a good idea tears in the eyes. i havent got any rego but its in a rural area with extremly quiet streets , here is a pic the first time driven to test the brakes, basically just testing the box and brakes and oh the motor ,may have to add some strength to the back of the seats . the trim will be last to go on as it is to expensive to damage .
thanks for the support but i must admitt it looks better in the pics i think
what happend to your white wall spats or is it just the pic quality

dont go driving around too much with out sunnies mate. i had a mate who was on a bike run, who moved his glasses, probably to clear something from his eyes... got hit dead inthe eye by a criket, which the coroner later found lodge part way into his brain!
i go everywhere flat out with my safaris open, but always with glasses. same as on my bike.
Simply Cruzin'...
i guess bugs are getting into people aswell wes shit did that guy die from the cricket
kombibob just a crap pic mate but i am not sure how long the inserts will last i will probably be getting them done properly if the guy can do really wide white walls
[Edited on 10-1-2005 by t2 sauerkraut bug]
I had to stay with the inserts as the bloke here could only do 3/4 of an inch, too small for me.
Bus looks great.
Cheers
Dave
my mate cleaned between his inserts and his tyers with metho then sprayed them with contact sement because he was sick of replacing them
seems to have worked

Hi Darren............just checking out your oh so beautiful bus again & thought theres probably some newbies on here who need to see this gorgeous girl.😍
i was also hoping you might have some interior shots if youve got your seats done yet as i'm still stuggling with the definete colour combo for mine & as we seem to have very similar taste I would love to check yours out??😁
Oh....Snap.....!
brads still stiching up the rear seat as we speak might even be finished not sure, i will post a pic of my hood liner i have been working on for you , will post a pic of the interior /seats when they are all finished .
so hows your bus going it looks great?
how long before its on the road?
mine is so close its not funny ,the list of jobs on the bus goes like this finish hood liner (around 1 hours work)
finish the oil cooler set up (have hose and thermostat)allready mounted the cooler in poss.
get a temp guage and a sender fit those
purchase 2 175/55/15 tyres get them fitted to 2 original early beetle rims (can wait for this job)
fit the rear seat cover
then drive it everywhere untill it needs a resto again.
i will say this about the seats the front ones are not the same colour as the rear!!!!!!!! i cant wait to see it:thumb
gravity wont get you high
Mate that splitty is awsome, all that hard work really shows. well done.
What paint colour is it if you dont mind me asking?
if only digital cameras could cope with pearl.....this bus is WAY better in the flesh....it's totally awesome in every respect ... so if Darren won't talk it up, I will. Its frikkin amazing, not just the bus, but all the details and ideas that are in it. The kind of bus that makes you go, damn, I need one of those, and those and those, and that..,pimp my ride my arse - this is da domb - as young people I know would say.
Loves a lolcat
totally agree in the flesh she was awesome, got me inspired but dont have the $$$ to do anything bout it 🙁 , i'll be keeping an eye out for her in penriff once shes on the roads 🙂
T2,
I can't tell from the pictures...What is that headlining made of?
its 3mm ply , i stained it to make it look better.
everyone else dont believe the hype
gravity wont get you high
