Looks nice. Last photo especially.
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.
Do'nt assume anything- (While doing fault-finding).

I agree....need to find some fuchs at a reasonable amount (impossible I know) as the money's run slightly dry hence the interior is going to be all mine!

Your bus looks awesome! I like the look of the twin exhaust as well. Congratulations!

There's a set of fuchs wit a polished lip for R9K. It's the second week in the Autotrader so maybe you can make them an offer.
The only substitute for cubic inches are more cubic inches.

Bettlefantic, aren't those ones 7j's....i.e. to wide to fit in the arches? Also worried that the inset on the rear means they won't fit without changing the hubs....
