What about a trip to Suffolk in the summer

Count me in mate!

As you know, the in'law's live in Ipswich, so we are up that way a fair bit! Be good to catch up with you!

My bus won't be any where near as shiny as yours mate

However, seeing yours will give me the inspiration to get mine sorted!!

Got a call from Jim today to say that the bus is all sorted and ready to be collected

Hopefully picking it up on sunday!

Can't wait to be honest!

I will finally have a bus that I would be happy to take my little boy in, whithout the fear of another electrical fire (had two in two different vans!).

Now I will just enjoy it for a bit and drive around in it, then save my pennies for the work in the new year!

Cheers Jim

tis a lovely bus mate ... enjoy

Well, I finally collected the bus yesterday evening after a couple of weeks of Jim working his magic on it.

To say I am very happy is an understatement! This is the mess that it was!































And some of the new going in











As you would expect, the work has been done to a very high standard and the lesuire battery and split relay will be excellent for camping next year! He even managed to fix the monumental oil leak that the engine sprung on the way to Cornwall over the bank holiday weekend!


However, my favourite thing (even more than a bus that isn't likely to spontaneously combust at any given moment) was having the glow of the moon guages from the fresh air box above me as I pottered along the M25 at night...... I first wanted to do this 15 years ago when I owned my previous camper. Hopefully it's not another 15 yars before I get to do the rest of my ideas for the van

Thanks a lot Jim.... enjoy your winter break, and look forward to booking the bus back in with you in the new year!

Regards

Cheers mate.

It did look kinda cool as you drove away with the cab area backlit.

Thanks to oxonphil I just found these pics of the interior....
