71 Early Bay (formerly known as Superdry)

it will sail through dude

I'm fairly confident you're right, but there's always that little nagging doubt isn't there.
I await 'THE TEXT'!

Just had a new battery box delivered for the leisure battery to sit in when the tv seat goes in.


I also got a new alternator stand too for the engine build.

Cool

Very nice, I see what you mean about the lightening holes now

Ever since I got the bus I've been nobbed off with the front carpet set.
Had a bit of time this afternoon so decided to swap out what was in there for a nice new set I had in the garage....
So, the front end went from looking like this




To this




I was going fit the Tacho and pillar Spot too but ran out of time, so that's a job for next time.

nice job, looks loads better

Nice work sir.

Did a little tinkering this afternoon.
Fitted my Bluebird Customs buddy seat. Just need to get it trimmed next week and that'll be another little job off the list.

Thats the roapyest bit of foam I have ever seen!! lol

Bluebird stuff is good. looks cool bud

Yeah, the foam will be replaced when it gets trimmed.

Since I didn't get to Bug Boogie I thought I'd at least get something else ticked off the buses 'To Do' list.
Not a huge job but one that needed doing.
I now have curtains in the tailgate too!


Gone are the days of having to gaffer tape Meerkats picnic blanket round the back of the bus!

Whilst I was out there I ran the length of 3 core wire in from the engine bay.
I then fitted the Autometer tacho on the dash and made up a lead from the coil to join up to my new 'loom' in the engine bay, and the same the other end at the dash.

Ran out of time to hook up the wire from the light feed though.

are you getting a spare wheel cover made when the buddy seat gets covered?

nice.. it's coming together!

No, I have a spare wheel cover, I've taken it off so the upholsterer has something to match.

Thanks Dude, there's lots of little things that need doing before I do the engine.

all thats left is to lift the front indicators up a bit and get some full size rear lenses

TWAT!!!

Mrs Scoopie has just dropped the buddy seat base off for me.
We've ordered enough material to cover the base and back rest of the tv seat for when that's done too.
I'll post up some pics as soon as it's back and fitted.

hows the engine build coming alone then ?

I've not started it yet, not got all the stuff.

I've got the cushion for my folding buddy seat. Gotta take it back to get the stitching tweaked.


I've also had the prototype for my 'tv seat' delivered.
It needs a shelf inside for the leisure battery and stuff.
Just gotta decide what finish to do the sides. Thinking about dark stain at the moment...

sweet! shame it's not a westy though, they really are the coolest thing around at the moment!!!

Did I mention I have one for sale!
