Specs are as follows: All new steering, suspension and brakes. 70mm Narrowed link pin beam with drop spindles, CSP discs up front, 2 spline rear drop, Chirco recon single port heads, new exhaust, etc, etc. This should be a trouble free package for many miles ahead.Here's how it looked when we bought it - covered in moss and on nosebleed status.

Rear end had a lot of patina and a bit of rust from previous repairs. We decided to paint the rear end

Vehicles For Sale page has now been updated. I realised it was about a year out of date! FTP access can be a pain, but still... Look out for updates to the sold gallery too.

Tim's bus is done and was collected by Tim mid week for the run back to Belgium. Once we gave it a wash it looked awesome. Tim wanted a sensible height so he can tow a caravan behind it. He deals in Old School lightweight caravans, so if you are in the market, get in touch. Here's the man himself with a smile on his face..Project '68 Deluxe came in for a bunch of work and an MOT this week, as we are on a deadline for it to go and get it's interior fitted. Not much to see, but a UK spec rewire, new headlamps...New disc brake master cylinder for the CSP's... all new brakes and suspension/steering components throughout meant a first time MOT pass. Paperwork now with the DVLA.If you want a fully sorted early deluxe similar to project '68, then get in touch. we have been importing nice early bays since 2002 before they were even considered hot property. Here is the latest one to leave the USA - an Original paint '69 Deluxe camper. The previous owner has already removed the hippie paint and buffed a couple of areas. This leaves us to do our trademark paint blending and buff job, fit a nose badge and slam it on a link pin beam with all new brakes, steering and suspension throughout. Rear bumper is included and will be refitted before sale. We don't scrape MOT's with our buses like some other import companies, we like to impress the MOT tester! It will also have a stripped and checked engine. Guide price £8000 with the above and some cool rims, such as Torkers. Check out the rare non walkthrough bulkhead..Johnny has helped out a lot recently around the shop, Thursday evening was the turn of his late '63 subhatch westy to get some attention. At 6pm the spindles still needed pressing and finishing, beam needed installing, some wiring needed and new brake hoses up front. By Friday afternoon she had a fresh MOT and paperwork was submitted for registration. That's 2 manic MOT's in 2 days. Check out all the progress on Johnny's westy on his blog at http://johnnylongtime.blogspot.com/

Tim's bus arrived on a trailer from his home in Belgium a couple of weeks ago. It will be finished tomorrow and has the following: Adjustable IRS, rebuilt gearbox, 4" Narrowed beam with drop spindles, CSP discs and dual circuit and steering rack with VDM wheel. It has the new Motorworks iron cross style wheels. Project 68 Deluxe is coming on. It's getting the works mechanically - 70mm narrowed link pin beam with drop spindles, 2 spline at rear, Chromed raders, all new rear brakes, CSP fronts, all new steering components, new exhaust, new windscreen and blended lower surround, rear paint blending, wet sand and buff job on the paint, CSP shifter, etc. First job was to scrub the moss off the roof!Looks a bit better already eh?We took a trip up to the docks last week to pick up the 76 westy berlin. Dave left his trekker at home and gave Mark a lift in his 'new' sensible daily driver - a slammed '79 Passat!Saw this Delorean there - they look much better bare..Westy is a 100% rust free import, 2 litre injection, new exhaust, factory AC (needs looking at) full Berlin interior and ready to go. Will be MOT'd, registered, buffed paint, etc and no doubt lowered before sale £9750 is all it will take to buy it.Peter's Westy went for it's MOT, prior to having a service and tuning the carbs. A little localised metal repair and paint blending and it will be done.A couple of bays came in for a one day drop
