Got quite a bit done today, very pleased, looking less like travelers now that the old bus is beginning to take shape.

Good luck guys with your syncro, ask as many questions as you like, I am sure that someone on here will know the answer.
My bus has taken 3 years to get to this point, but I would not have it any other way now.


Simon.

PS What syncro are you getting, a busman one by chance??

Hi Simon,We bought our syncro from Will(who had it for sale through this forum)C.J was the one who put us on to it(and he was the one who had sold it to Will a few years back!)I dont know if C.J got it through Busman.It originally did come from the Finns though.I cant wait to see it !We have a non syncro that we bought down here for spare parts.So we are ready to work on it asap!! Also Hola Dave Friday,We are about an hour and a half from Almeria!in La Herradura(small coastal town in between Nerja and Motril)If you are ever down our way please feel free to call in!Hasta Luego,Stefany

Hi Simon,

The van looks really good :ok
You are still the only hightop I have seen off-roading! Are you taking it back down to Devon this year?
