Afraid to say that I have now sold the bus, it went to the first person that came and saw it.
I will be sad to see it go as I have spent 4 years on it.
What I mean by "afraid to say" is that for financial reasons I had to sell it, at least it will be going to a new home and that makes me feel a bit better. I had to stop myself from trying to put him off it.
The new owner has some really good plans for it and I think you will see it around.
I wont say who bought it as that is for them to say.
I am only putting this post on so that the people who have contacted me and were interested in buying it know whats happening.
Thanks for your patience.
Now to post the last pic of the van
Cheers
Vanless Dave

well done dave you got out before the silicon got right into it and the top half fell off

Thanks for that Darren, at least that gave me a laugh. It might only last another 40 years instead of 41.
For those that dont know the story, When I fitted the Creative deluxe trim(yes from Roy) I sprayed fish oil in the holes and also used silicon on the thread of the screws so that it sealed the holes.
Well someone tried to tell me that the silicon would make the van rust.
If you check the tube of sellys silicon I used it stated that it was non corrosive and could be used on steel, brass, copper, stainless etc..
Same as the person who said that because I used stainless bolts and screws throughout the van, it would cause a reaction and make it rust quicker, thats why I said it might only last 40 years instead of 41.
Cheers
Dave

Well done Dave and congrats to the new owner, when is he going to post a pic?
Whats your new name going to be, Holden Dave? Beetle Dave, non VWDave
57kombi ·
I dont know why I am getting congratulations, I will be sad to see it go.
Also the new owner got a bargain.
Might have to change my name to Vanless Dave, NON 57kombi, Billy No Van, Skoda Kid, Lada speed freak or" There is no way you would catch me in one of those beetle things".
Cheers
Mr No Name
