    Mate this van is the 6th member of our family. It was mentioned selling him last year but I have so much time & money in him already I know I have to keep on, eventually I hope to just enjoy him but will I really enjoy it when I’m not tinkering? Not likely

    • Sorry to hear you’ve had a shit year mate.......

      Bus is still looking awesome though.

      I totally forgot you had a pop top fitted.

      What roof is it bud, I’ve got pretty much the same spec being fitted in April (Hopefully)...

      I’ve gone for the Austops scenic version with blue canvas.
      Ever since I put a deposit down I’ve been wondering if I’ve made the right choice.

      But seeing these pics now makes me think I have.....

        Hi mate yeah austops with blue scenic. Cracking bit of kit. Think mine was a bit rushed but I’ve corrected a few thing & fixed a leak. Eventually when I get the van painted I will get a thermal canvas to suit my desired colour....

                    • Turbo turned up looking fabulous I was messaged throughout the build & even shown the results sheet from the balancing test. Perfect how many can say they had pic by pic build of their turbo.

                          Me, I do it myself. Lol. Great looking stuff mate. What are the turbo specs and what’s the target? .260 is a decent size injector.

                              I’m not saying a target, I’ve had claims of 200bhp but have been shot down pretty quickly by a few. If I double the 88bhp I will be happy.
                              Far far too much bitch behaviour over who is the lowest/fastest/most powerful.
                              This bus is built for me, nobody else
