    Looks just right, nice amount of lowering :)
     
  11. How much has she been lowered by in inches? After an idea for the eventual lowering of mine...
     
  12. @outlaw can you point me in the direction of where you hot the bits to lower the van? How does it drive now?
     
  13. The front shocks were an ebay purchase (Outlaw found them), rear was lowered using horseshoe plates and the rest was down to Outlaw's wizardry and knowledge!

    My bus looks awesome now! Don't know how it handles currently as engine is knackered. :-(

    I would like to take this opportunity to say a massive THANK YOU!
    to Outlaw for all his advice and efforts in helping with Ruby and for putting up with me as I know next to nothing about t2's so have been asking a lot of questions! Lol.
    I'm learning fast though!

    I shoved some horseshoe plates on mine, couldnt get the bloody wheels on !!!!

    Stance on that is sweet... how can anyone argue with that, stops it looking like a cartoon bus, like the cars on wacky races that rise on stilts.. LOL

    gotta love a lowered bus , stock is good but there just so near perfect lowered a tad ... ( in my humble opinion )

    P.S horseshoe plates for sale see in stuff for sale :)

  17. Well flooring has been ordered today, new narrower front tyres sourced today ready to go on and replacement engine being dropped off to the awesome Outlaw tomorrow so hopefully Ruby will be back on the road soon! Fingers crossed ill still be able to take her to Bugjam.

  19. Its been a while changing jobs slowed me up a lot - but she is alive again with a 1600 twin port - would have been quicker if some numpty hadn't forgotten the exciter ring - opps must be getting old - She sounds sweet
