not sure yet...needs some welding under for rwc....might leave the body as is for a while..Lyn would like him ready for RTTS..think he might get sandblasted under on the weekend or monday....then off to my secret mechanic
i have the three days off (gr8 being ur own boss)...
might have to wait for Chris...think he has another kombi customer...put a bloke onto him during the week..The 72 might be home early next week..he looks gr8..if i get the body done ..chris is the man..not sure which one to concentrate on

Bus is looking great but you will find that with that tinware will not fit in the standard splitscreen engine bay (the big piece at front and back) as they are from a late baywindow engine bay what fits a 1600 motor.
Hope that helps.
Cheers Rick

Thanks Rick...some is to be used in my 72 that in resto too
picking up another 1600 today...a 1600 but it has been worked to an 1835 with a modified cam installed and has a porsche carburetor fitted. They said it runs at about 70 hp. My mechanic will check it out..not sure which bus its going in..will leave it all up to him
