Intorducing.... The Fag Bus

[tommo1366]

Not quite British military green but I parked near this on Friday and thought this is nice, German Bundeswehr Green?

Possibly by ral code 7011 iron grey with that green tinge, wouldn’t say anthracite as that’s 7015 and darker with more blue.

VW anthracite grey L469 - which is nowt like the ral code anthracite and does have green in it but also more brown, 7011 is a good shout as is Audi Nimbus grey as it's a very popular colour on the scene.



Looks quite blue in that light though

(awesome wheels too)

Well after a busy xmas period and the poor fag being neglected and pushed outside to make space for other jobs,



On a plus note she fired straight up and rans sweet as a nut today after being left for 5 weeks or so, theres still a few jobs to sort out with the engine but nothing now stopping the front going back on.







Well I'm getting tired of feeling simply sick everytime I get in or have to move the van, so avoiding it no more.

This is simply disgusting and smells as bad as it looks.























This is the first quick clean as I was loosing light, scrubbing with a brush and its come up better than expected so im unsure now what to do with it.



















If nothing else it certainly starting to smell better!

I've also finaly started on the panneling and carpeting first attempt at this and its harder than it looks! and im not looking forward to doing the long side panels.

The rear panels were made using the templates online, so I can confirm they fit but I think i'd tweak them a little if I ever do them again.












So im trying to get the cab back together and see if I can get some mileage on it once I sort some insurance out but I've just bought a 2.5 today with 115K on the clock which I couldnt turn down at the ridiculous price.

Mate, that’s some great cleaning work. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a grim looking interior but coming up ok for a first clean!

Basically a nail brush and a smaller nylon toothbrush style brush (although an actual toothbrush would work perfectly) with a good cleaning solution. I usually use a 50/50 or 60/40 TFR/water solution but I have recently been using Impacts industral Citrus cleaner which works better than TFR and smells wonderful!

Cheers, What you see is about just over an hours work before I started loosing light and gave up, maybe the photos do it justice. Yeah first clean being a scrubbing brush! I still have to go back with the smaller details like the vents etc and I have to take the door pocket off the drivers side to get in their properly. Then decide what finish to apply, I was going the cherry blossom route which I still might or maybe trim the door cards. Not sure yet.

That's coming up a treat mate. What are those vents in the door cards?

Pass! im guessing just air vents for the doors, I'm new to T4's didnt know others didnt have them. I know they will be factory as this bus has never had any love let alone modifications!
