My 71 1800 Diesel soon to be Turbo

Postby J-P on Fri Oct 02, 2009 3:27 pm

Thought I'd post a few pics of my bus just to prove I do actually have one and hopefully won't always be kipping in the back of a Passat at shows :D


Here he is when I bought him in 2004.. didn't look too bad £700 off ebay.. bargain...

Image

.. then on closer inspection after purchase.. maybe not such a bargain..

Image

Image

Image

nice bit of wood held in with some sort of bonding underneath to hide nastyness then covered in underseal !!!

Image


Lots and lots of welding and fabircation...

Image

Image


a few essential mods...

Image

Image

then back on the road for a couple of years

Image

then time to finish what I started which is taking longer than hoped due small interruptions and lack of funds.....

Image

more mods inc porsche 4 pot brakes all round

Image

Image

Turbo Diesel Engine
Image

New Radiator Set Up
Image

Bit more Rot removal

Image

New Bum Cheeks
Image

I have also fitted a Bedford Rascal Steering and Electronic Power Steering from a Vauxhall Corsa.. lacking on photos on this .. probably other stuff I've forgotten..

Anyway It's been stripped and sprayed and is kinda like this at the moment

Image

Image

Am slowly putting it all back together at the moment :D
