hello all, here is my new ride, a 1970 lowlight microbus. was a pretty solid bus when i bought it, came with a blueslip as well which made life easier. since owning it i have done the following:
sold the seats
new extractors and exhaust
roof rack
new tie rods, ball joints
got adjusters welded into the beam
notched springplates, one spline drop
new brake shoes, cylinders
new 185/55/14 front tyres.

is being fitted out as a mobile espresso van to do as a day job. fitout is being done by me, with stainless benches being made up by a fellow in brisbane.
should look pretty killer when its done.. heres a before and after pic, will keep updates as it comes along:)

hahaha precisely. the roofrack is to store coffee beans obviously. adjustable beam, to counter the weight of the coffee machine. brilliant.

Most awesome. Gotta love a low low-light.

My low light SC will be getting dumped by Ross @ Skinned Knuckles in Melbourne cause I'm not that skilled! :)
