If ya don't mind me asking? how much did ya pay for the 60mm springs ans who from?

Thanks for com about van.

Think she'll be back on the road for mid April time, i've still got a hell of alot of work to do before i bring it back from work.
Then the interior has to be finished and fitted.

I got my kit from Fireturk he's on ebay and on here. Very good bloke, When I told him about the dragster effect he got in contact with Jamex I think. Anyway he sent me a set of 60s for the rear at no cost. He's also good for longer studs and wheel nuts.

Hope this helps. Sherlock.

Bloody hell small world. I got mine from Fireturk too but via ebay
Might be worth emailing him then to see if they can do owt for me?

nice bus

Thanks Matt, its taken a while to get it to this stage.
Most of last summer was spent building the interior(NEVER AGAIN).
The resto/repaint was a walk in the park in comparison, as i've been working in the accident repair trade for good few years now.
Can't wait to put everything back on the bus and actually start using it

I also got mine from him off ebay. Give him a bell that's the best way to get things sorted. He should change them as he knows the Jemax kits are a bit dragster ish.

I emailed Andy last night via ebay, as i didn't have a contact number.

Think i'll wait till Tuesday and see if he gets in contact. Don't really wanna be bothering him on the Bank Holiday

Thanks for your help with this one sherlock

Undersealed

Also this week sent windows to be tinted and ordered new window rubbers.
We tried reusing the old rubbers but all the rubbers had shrunk

It's gunna look the mutts when it's finished. Must be a nice feeling knowing that all the little things are done on your van, rubbers, underseal etc,etc
keep the pics coming.

Cheers sherlock.
The van now MUST be done asap as we just got our Glaso tickets today + 1 Campervan ticket
As far as the seals go, i had refitted all the windows and tinted them myself. But none of the rubbers would fit After 3 hours of p***ing about heating the seals up etc i admitted defeat. So when the windows guys came into work(one of them a VW bus lover), they told me they could get me some rubbers AND chrome fillers for FREE and fit it all
I do look after them though, but now i owe them BIG TIME.

Well here ya go folks, paint job now finished
Just the wheels to fit and chrome bumpers to find. Maybe a chrome step too?
I purchased a pair of square lights and grille, but didn't like the look when fitted.
