I've joined the dark side! ;)

After owning a 69 and a 71 bay in the past, not to mention countless other air and water cooled vw's I have now taken the plunge and bought a 77 riviera!

I bought it from a mate in the states and it'll be here end of may all being well.

Been into dubs for 20 years now and have used all the usual forums for a very long time, but never had any reason to get stuck in with this forum until now..............

So I'll introduce myself........

My name is Austin and I'm an addict!! And here is my bus.

 

Hiya Austin and welcome. Smart looking bus.

 

Welcome along dude, it's good you've seen the light

 

Welcome along - we have a lot of fun with 'Is it here yet?' threads

Hi, welcome

 

Hello & Welcome from The Colonial Contingent

Welcome along Austin if that bus came from Texas people will poke fun at ya.


Joke aside nice bus and good luck to you with it. Looks good fella. Enjoy the ride

 

welcome to you and your bus ...

 

Cheers guys, the bus came from Utah, but spent its early life in California.

My mate dropped it off at the dock yesterday, and to say i cant wait is an understament, here are some of my previous greatest hits for good measure.

overt your eys, this is prototype bay content!!

the 71 named "number 2"


and my 69 called "Richie Randolph"

 

Hello nice looking bus you've almost got!

 

Disgusting as LHD early bays as well

 

Welcome mate. I have a riviera too. Have you any interior pics?

 

Welcome aboard chap, I can't believe its taken you so long to see the light

So, erm, cough, cough........






Is it here yet?

 

Welcome buddy.

 

Cool, I only have close up shots of things from the interior to see what kind of shape it's all in.

Have you for any pics if your interior. I'd like to see the different variations of interior.

 

Here you go mate.



This is what I had in the van when I got it. Just fitted a new sink unit which looks the same, but less tatty.
