Re: Elvis the Bus

Well a couple of weeks into ownership and still loving it...It certainly attracts a lot of attention!! I am expecting it to fail the MOT next week as i know it needs a few new bushes etc up front on the suspension. I am planning on softening the suspension/look at some point but still want to keep t...

Bit morbid...Kids named it after our recently deceased cat! Same colour :?

Re: Molly The Viking - Interior almost finished

Thanks Buddy, I too thought that the little flap door was a bit of a pain. This is just a shallow box screwed behind the opening. Thought it would be handy for the kids and also for phones etc when we are using the bed. I am cutting a lift up flap in the worktop today so that I can use that entire u...

Re: Molly The Viking - Starting to take shape

Molly has been pushed aside a lot recently to make time for family life but I am back on it at the moment. The interior is 90% there now, just need to connect the appliances back up. The old wardrobe and overhead cupboard can wait for now as I don't want it off the road any longer..... http://i122.p...

Re: Method of fitting new side window and rubber?

Sorry, that's what I kind of meant...It must be from a caravelle rather than a van with the windows cut. The windows are definitely factory fitted though. All I have regarding documentation is a letter from Volkswagen to the first owner with an invoice for a new Xplorer for the pricely sum of £8223....

Re: Method of fitting new side window and rubber?

I'm not entirely sure. The guy that I purchased it off said that it is pretty rare for some reason as it isn't a converted panel van? I should try and look into it more i guess....

Re: Method of fitting new side window and rubber?

Mine is in fact an original conversion so I have factory windows. So the seals are already complete... Chris you will be pleased to know that things are progressing a bit faster now and all spraywork has been completed. I will be hitting the interior properly this month :)

Method of fitting new side window and rubber?

Hi Guys, I need to re-fit one of my side windows with a new rubber this weekend. The question is, is there a knack to doing it? I have been given some professional black sealant to use. Now this may seem a silly question but where does the sealant actually go? Is it to seal the glass into the rubber...
