Great work Roy, love it, great colour scheme, is this your signature vehicle for the business or for resale!, keep up the great work mate..

Hey Andy
the 58 is what started the idea for our new venture, after all the work it is for keeps,unless someone comes along and offers me a substantial amount of cash!!!!!
The delux I have will be the signature vehicle for the business but I am waiting for some more bits from Schofeilds, creative, SSP and MWS to finish her off. Then its a case of getting on the road.
Paint on the delux is Polar white over Tanzanite Pearl Blue,
sorry you will have to imagine the safaris, roof racks, JGE Raders etc

Hey Roy,
Excellent job! It's great to see your handy work and you're obvious passion for VW's. It's also great you giving us the option for reasonably priced bits to help us along the way...You sound like me,...finish one project and straight onto the next...
Good luck to you..

too kind, too kind
hey it was a tough road to travel.
Many a time I felt like selling it half finished but its all worth while now.
My next one will probably be a bug as the other signature vehicle, Cal-look, loads of polished accessories, pop outs alloys.
But its a long way off yet hopefully get the 65 delux on the road before christmas.

Very nice bus Roy.
I admit I have felt like selling mine in the past but as it is now painted I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Cheers

Nice job with both buses Roy. I like how you have listened to Andy's suggestion of 'being one of us' instead of only selling things to us.. and for that, respect.
ClassicVW(pacific) ·
Cheers everyone
I have been here a while, just under a different name until the new venture came along and a name change too.
We posted the '58 for sale half finished some time ago. Luckily for me nobody wanted it 🙂
I think when the paint goes on, that is like the last bend and you are on the home stretch.
Its just an absolute joy to drive, cant help smiling when I'm driving it.
I have still gotta do a few little bits to it.

Very nice buses Roy, thanks for sharing those with us - and as Jim said it is great to know you are a fellow enthusiast, not just a commercial entity out to make a profit.
