The first bit sounds good to me dude...
Not sure about leaving it as is yet but it may grow on me..

Quotes from the old boys stood in the yard waiting as you drove off earlier...

Old boy #1
"I had one of those twenty years ago but it wasnt that low - his suspension must be giving up!!!"

Old boy #2
"Crikey his exhaust is a bit loud too!!!"

Cheers for the running boards bud, every little helps

Kays neighbour came knocking on the door when the van was up her dads car park. 'Ere youg 'un I dont want to panic you, but you're front end has fallen down about 6" since last week"..... urm yep.... thats because Rich hit it with the lowering stick, but thanks for noticing!

Well i got there at last with the gearbox oil leak no more leaks

Here we go then..... The back end down a click...

Lookin` Rich, I just luv that rough look

I'll be honest, I wasn't convinced looking at the pics, but seeing it in the flesh last niht it looked rock hard matey!! Good work.

that looks perfect, dont go any lower, that stance is awesome!!

The rear wont be going any lower dude. The rear spring plates are notched about a inch and they're bottomed out so need to modify something for more clearance..

But the front end is to high so the arches are getting slightly tubbed and then i'll drop it down a little bit..

I think i'm getting close to getting on the wrong side of the Samba police again...

We've been thinking of putting a water pumper in the rear of the bus.. Just doing some research to see what we think... The the 1914 will go in frizz's bug.
