The Split Screen Van Club

Hi, Finally got round to uprating a few bits on my 1600 tp engine. Alternator conversion, new coil, 009 dizzy and a pair of 36 dells. Also bolted on a nice vintage speed exhaust. Sounds great! but having issues setting this up correctly. Runs better when warm, but hesitation and lack of power and sp...

Hi, could anyone recommend a chromer in the Middlesex area, although happy to post further away for a good job. I only want a few small parts done...

Thanks,

Who bets they "sell it" on the show

Those look awesome. I have 16s on my bus too, although by the looks of your's .... mine need a serious polish

Jumped in at the deep end this weekend and started to install the headliner in my bus :) I've been carefully measuring everything but before I stick the sides down can anyone confirm how long the headliner bows should be.

Hi,

I'm after a couple of rattle cans of pearl & silver white just to spray a few small parts not worth putting in a shop.

That is awesome!

Try some P-Clips, so that the number plate hangs off the towel rail. You can get them with rubber so that you can tighten them nicely and it wont scratch the towel rail.

If anyone is taking off an old perforated headliner I'd be interested in it for sizing and a pattern.....

Definitely thinking this is do-able now.......

Hi,

Does anyone know of a pattern or have any ideas about making your own fabric headliner (rather than buying something pre-made)..have you used an old headliner/does anyone have one to pass on..... I'm contemplating buying some perforated vinyl and giving it a go!

Darren's doing mine at the moment - good chap and great work. Very pleased with the progress so far & going into paint soon! Saw yours there last week just going into primer, it's looking really nice, I just don't get how he managed to get the long side looking so straight when I've seen so many th...
