Yep, another VW Bus  I've been lurking on here for sometime and thought i better say howdy. Just about to move house to somewhere with a bit more land so have been checking out your rides for inspiration for my next purchase, might go for a Viva or Firenza. This is my current pride and joy, pretty much all stock at the moment, need to respray the original front grill and refit it as I'm not keen on the chrome, aprt from that enjoy:  Nice and straight in all the right places:  Pretty much a stock drivers compartment, need to get some more comfy seats for those long journeys  Where the magic happens  the wife did the interior sewing (hence the cushion!!)  Plans: I've been toying with getting it lowered, but we do use it for camping/festivals so not too low, apart from that keep it stock. It will need a respray soon as there is some patina going on, but will keep the same colours. |

Erm, can't see the point of plating the windows over......colour is nice and a bit of a slam would look good but I wouldn't go ruining it as its a nice standardish example.
Worth more unmolested too ;D

The slam and the grey look nice, but keep the windows....
Wide steels? Those 356-style chrome ones. Too many bays trying too hard with BRMs and whatnot.
