This build really is a bus with the lot, and some. Well done, looks very nice.

Looking good mate.
Chasing any Neiman steering lock parts, will consider anything.

Decided to come up with something to solve the lack of places to hold your coffee or drink can you are cruising along. Came up with a I think a nice neat swing out design. I have decided to put thse up for sale on my Build Ninja website if anyone's interested. Available in Black or White, single or a pair. Fasteners included.

Wow, that's a hell of an update. Nice work and good to see you use it for the intended purposes of a camp out 8) How did the feel with your custom front end ? Luxury ?

Nice job with those polished trims under the bed frame and sill, been thinking of something similar.

Diving a bus at those speeds around the cones would of needed to change your undies :lol:

Hi mate, thanks. Well I guess I can't really compare the ride to a split as I have only been in a couple. But it literally drives, steers and rides like a new car. The turning circle is really tight, with of course no rubbing at all lock to lock even over bumps. I reckon it's settled a little so I may raise it 1/2" or so. The power steering is sweet as, not too light. I did tweak the rebound on the front a couple of clicks and that made it ride even nicer. It was always intended to be driven not hidden, its just so much fun to be behind the wheel but I imagine all you splitty guys feel that way. Lots of waves and smiles!

Great job on the build
One we have all enjoyed
Looking forward to checking the bus out at some stage
Like the coffee cup idea, do they come in a rusty version
