Great stuff, did you enclose proof of insurance with your application or just insure when you got the registration number?

Ok-can you let me know what happens please? Not that I'm in a rush, just had to pull my new engine out due to leaking cam plug :roll:

Just been filling the form in to register my 72. As it's now m.o.t exempt I guess I don't have to do this before registering...but I then read that I need to insure it before registering? Is this correct, if so-anyone know a friendly insurer that does policies temporarily on the vin number?

At the minute, the wiper motor ('72') and near side door mirror. Pair of kick panels too. I've just bit the bullet n ordered new for the rest I need (I think...every time I get to bottom of list it gets longer!)

After a couple of good used original parts for my bay. Wiper motor, door mirror, few odds n sods.. I'd previously used volksheaven (Doncaster?) but the website and phone number are down Seems odd as he'd been around for years Any pointers to someone that doesn't want ridiculous money for parts?

Sold

Sorry you're about 300 miles from me so wouldn't be able to collect

Hi, got a few interior panels from my 72 deluxe They're the brown and black style, grubby but could clean up ok enough for a ratty bus Not going to post, just need the space! 2x rear quarter panels 2x walk through seat backs 1x opposite sliding door panel ( needs mounting on new hardboard) I've...

Hi, need a few of the missing parts to finish my 72 Near side window lifter mechanism Interior door handle surrounds/finger plates Pair winder handles Anyone got any lying about drop me a line Thanks

Need rid of these to make space for my van in the garage! Set of four 14" late bay wheels. Chunky tyres, lot of tread but God knows how old they are so I'd consider as rims only. One will need painting as one is odd colour and there's overspray on them that would need cleaning. £50 or best offer...

Hi top was just 'resting' there as storage. Was never fitted to the bus When it's finished I'll get to the odd meet :)

It's been a long time since posting, and after living away from home for the last 6 months, almost selling, and a(not bus related and still amicable) divorce the van is eventually away to get rewired and engine fitted. 1776cc with scat cam and twin 34's. Should push her along reasonably...

Pains me to do this but as I'm no longer living where my garage (and therefore van) is means this is going to be impossible for me to finish 72 crossover deluxe, Kansas beige og paint. Few knocks here and there but overall pretty straight. Few small patches of welding done, drivers floor...

Been a while since a progress post. As I'm waiting for my 1776 motor to be built I thought I'd tidy the engine bay. What bugged me was that the engine tray corner had been mangled, so got a panel from schofields. Took a bit getting and pie cutting to fit, and it's a long time since I've...

Id thought of that but not got round to Giving it a go, been busy with cleaning and stonechipping my chassis (really really fun job haha) might as well try it -thumbs up-
