Just a quick update. Took the engine out on Thursday night. Burst oil cooler. Replaced it with secondhand one I had Friday morning. Shower packed and took the road to Pta at 12 oclock. About 6 Km from home and 1 km from the Hilton garage the westi decide to die on me. Thought about getting the Isuzu and drive to Pta.... No fuel. Put the Westi on reserve and refuel. Took a long drive to Pta. Showed the bus to the previous owner at Estcourt. Stop here at about 8pm. Will post some pics later. Took the two busses to CITP today was a nice day out and the kids enjoyed it. Saw a pic of my westi and blue bus and my ex ghia the maroon one under events CITP. Had a good few days.

Bus is really looking nice, congratulations

Saw the bus today in the metal. Looks fantastic. Looks even better than the pictures.



What did you use for the red rear reflectors?

I saw this beaut too. My absolute favorite of the lot! Really perfect bus

The westi looked awesome.............G? Where did you get the carpets?

love it,nice work, well done

Thanks for all the comments on the bus. It was a long road to get it this far, all the ups and downs. The big lesson I learned is take it a day at a time, dont give up hope on a project and try to do every evening or weekend just something on the project,in other words dont let too much dust cover the project.
Gary carpets is from a local shop here. It is just normal hard wearing floor carpets.
Think this will be one of the last posts here. Will see.

Absolutely lovely.....I have to ask, where did you buy the IPOD dock ashtray in the end....I want one for Mo and I'm seriously considering rebuilding her insides all over again after the wedding she's booked for end September.

"going nowhere slowly"???????

Thats a nice cruising speed. I did the same up to PE.

Just let all the Hooligans driving more than 60 pass you by.

Beautiful bus!!!! Congratulations!!!

Got the indicator switch fixed today. Now the brake lights and indicators are working properly. Tomorrow will fix the hooter, Dirk(FIM) already pull the wire through to the button, bought a new hooter, need a nut and bolt to fit, as the old one is no more, have no spares here in Pta.

Went to the aircooled show 3 October. Took the other bus with. Was a fabiolus day out. Thanks to the organisers. Saw some old friends there.

Drove the bus back to Pietermaritzburg on Sunday and we were save and sound at 6 pm.
