Harry the Texas Westy

Seats look good. Delilahs look to have made good job.

 

been clocking up the miles the past few days, been to burnham on sea, watchet, wookey hole and cheddar gourge, as well as banger racing too

few pics from cheddar gourge today

 

Longleaf safari park today, pulled up for a cheeky shot with the house in the background, it was huge

 

how are you finding those bf goodrichs dude?
Is there much road noise from them?

 

Cheers dude

Ive driven landys and other vehicles with them on but never a bus so its nice to hear from a bus owner that runs them

Do you mind me asking how much they cost you to buy and get them to the uk?

Id rather have them in 14 inch than 15 to be totally honest

 

Not much progress, been to busy camping with my son, managed to iron out using the propex, decided to upgade my interior light over the cooker with LED bulbs, pics to follow

Repaint still on the cards over winter






Thanks to Chrisradioman for the pics below

 

Vans looking real good, very solid. Loving the air-con.

 

my kick panels where a bit flimsy with the 6.5" vibe mids in em, and the sound wasnt great, so decided to make some mods to they with the addition of some mdf spacers to firm them up and also space them out a bit, cut the madmatz mat so its hide the mdf underneath to keep it neat

did both sides, but here pics of one

 

Update time

Harry, as hes been nicknamed by my 5yr old has been picked up by Paul at bugmadcustoms in Harlow Essex, and is due to start his transformation today, hes gonna be a busy boy, my 61 bug is lined up next

Heres the list to be done on Harry

Full external repaint in OG beige
Cab floor repainted, small pinholes in steps sorted and repainted
Bumpers,overiders and poptop repainted
All new window rubbers and door seals
New canvas
Inner arches stone chipped and repainted in body colour
Chassis stone chipped and waxoiled
sort out passenger lock
Fit new fuel sender
Wire in my sub box and fit new 6.5" components up front (current ones nackered by water coming thru screen seal)

That covers most of it

Pics to follow when i get over there next

 

Looking forward to the pics. The van was already nice as it was. You and Chris will have to go 'head to head' in a show at some point

 

cheers lofty, its a good base, but a year in the UK with some dodgy old seals mean it will need some tlc

i dont think it will quite be up to chrisradiomans standards................lol

i though i was well organised and into my details, but chris takes it to the next level and beyond

 

very nice indeed...

glad to see you haven't put the delux trim on it... drilling that many holes in your bus seems madness IMHO, especially when it always looks wonky/not level at some point around the bus, especially the rear corners..

 

pics as soon as i can spare time to get there chris

 

Harry in his new home awaiting stripdown

 

Good good, keep us posted.

 

i cant remember the ones i ordered, but if you look on their website they are on there, plus if you call them and describe my bus, 1979 westfalia, they should have it on record, main cabin mat and under seats mats i had custom made due to the captains seat
