It's a bit dark out now but the front just sort of dropped to the floor around 1.5-2" lower and the steering box and front bumper drag on the road when going on and off the drive and the tyre's hit the arches

I reckon the wheels look hot, BUT, I would personally have gone a tad higher on the tyre profile but thats just me.
Either way it looks the old Poodles Privates matey!!!

Like that Rich! Like that a lot!!!

That look uber cool dude

Last night Frizz had her works xmas meal so i was home alone well on the drive alone spent a while messing with the bloody carbs and linkage's trying to get FULL throttle in the end i bent the pedal up in to a banana shape reshaped the floor slightly and now i think it's the best i'm gonna get it, sealed up the exhaust FLANGE and now she has go a bit more get up and go in her.....

If when i bought her she was this quick i would of been very very happy she's got to be twice as quick then she was...

It's all good

dude i keep forgeting you have a hot motor in there a 1914 should make that panel rip

Spenny it could be getting a bit hotter as i may build a home brew turbo for it only low pressure but should get it a bit extra go

do it!

Hi dude nice to see you in Bristol on Saturday, sorry you got lost on the cruise.

The panel is gonna look wicked when you've finished it. Always better to see it in the flesh than in pictures.

If you do decide to get anything from Graham at FBI and want to save on postage then give me a shout, as I do a lot of work in Swansea for the DVLA.

Yeah bud good to see you to...

As for FBI i may well be in touch sometime in the new year

Cheers Rich

Heres some pics of her in the daylight....

The bus is looking awesome man... I still break into a sweat when safari windows are put in front of me!

Lookin good dude!

Still cant believe you drive round with the safaris open this time of year! Very hardcore!

Cheers guys. Glad you like the old dog

If you've got it use it thats what i say.

My new 5" tacho turned up today. Thought it was gonna look to modern but it's that bad really

Here it is fitted under the dash tray pretty much out the way so not bad..

And it all works but when i drive it the shift light seems to be on nearly all the time.

Nice tax disc holder im sure the police can see it

If they can't see it they must be blind it's perfectly visable when you look through the windscreen or side window

Cool rich the shift light in my bug has an interchangable lense....going to run a green light next year.....about a year ago a mate followed me out to worle in the dark on the dual carriageway....he said the car lighted up real bright when the shift light came on would be awesome to get some footage of that

One of my mates from Exeter has one mounted up by the rear view mirror in his Split and it lights his face and the cab of the bus up at night

Well had a few little running probs so i've given her a good seeing to, I've done the tappets, point's, timing, new flamethrower 8mm leads, new linkage's, fitted a set stacks on the carbs and cleaned the plugs... And it's spot on and goes like fu~k now....

Like it wasn't fast enough before!

Nice one dude. It's amazing what a bit of tweeking'll do to em!

Theres still more power to come out of this motor yet.

Gonna strip, clean and rebuild the carbs.
Get a electronic ignition
May be a electric fuel pump???
Then take it to Race shack and get Matty to work his magic
