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.

WOW!!!!! love the fleetline signage replacement!!! W!OOWW@!!!

Splifan.. Any new news on your bus.. Very keen to see the final product

That is the second best fleetline iv ever seen,obviously mine is better,(coz its mine!!!) Great job splitfan,that is beautifull!!!!!!!

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 !
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 !!

I took some pics this morning and mailed it to blitz to post for me;It's dad's little princess 3rd birthday today so thats why she's there (she doesn't miss a photo opp) I tried taking a pic of the "brackets" i had made for the straight axel conversion for BAB sorry Brandon i'l have to take the wheel off and take a better pics for you.The rest is just some to keep everyone updated on the progress still waiting for some bits from the states to finish the rest enjoy !

Here are the pictures

I am in love with the colour scheme of this Bus

















Tell us the secret of those front lights, splitfan. Are they Golf cross-hair lights in the original housings? They look wicked

wow Blitz good eye !!! Now that you have cracked it there is no more secrets !

THAT IS ONE FINE LOOKING SPLIT ...................SCREAM

and now you set the bench mark !!! you bastard !!!try aim a little lower next time............BAB

It looks super cool, especially with the fuchs! Nice job!

FFAAAAAKKK!!!

It looks good.

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?

Hi Guys
Thanks for all the nice comments,No John i found the lights at watercooled vw supplier they had them listed as "speedster" lights they are clear glass with a crome bead and place for a indicator/parlight globe i have seen some of them before but cant remeber where ,i did come right with the bearing thanks a million for all your effort i'l make sure to buy ya a when i see you !

Autostyle had similar lights for sale. No idea if they still have.

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?
