Nice to hear that he's still around. I didn't have any issues with him when he did my car, in fact I've used him for a few smaller jobs since then, but then he just seemed to drop off the planet. Next time you see him, tell him Mr Gary says hi.

Hey Guys
Sorry ive havnt been able to update the post as i would have liked to but i have been busy with the bus thats my excuse and im sticking to it ! :roll:
I have been able to fit the front suspension,rear suspension and gearbox so she's standing on her own wheels I do have some clearance issues to sort out at the rear but il get to that this week, all the door locks and rubbers are in exept for the front doors the bus has been soundproofed all the glass is in exept the rear glass and front doors, safari's are in with glass
disc and calipers fitted front and rear the plan is to bring the bus to my shop so i can get it on a lift to fit all the braided hoses and the radiator it might not sound like it did a lot but trust me !!
il make sure to take some pics and post them asap !!

What sound dampening did you use in the end?
Are the headlights the ones with the plastic chrome front cover?

p.s. Do you still need that kingpin bearing?

The ones I found at Volkspares looks smilar, but the chrome frame on the outside is made from plastic, so I left them. I bought clear ones from Autostyle with a metal chrome frame.

Jacques,
The sound dampening?
