'65 LHD Split US import
Walkthrough
Came with:
6 pop outs
Electric sunroof
Replica fusch alloys
1600 t/p engine
Bought
this off a member of
FlatFourFanatics as a unfinished project.
He had done all the necessary welding - sills, rear arches, complete
front panel, windscreen surround etc. He also built a body roller for it and
bare-metalled and then painted the underneath, inside and engine bay in blue.
All of this done in a big tent in his back garden in winter! It came mainly
bare-metalled on the outside, with the underneath, interior and engine bay
already painted.
The shade of blue was a bit bright for us, so we painted
it in sea blue on the bottom half and blue-white on the top half.
All seals, brakes and running gear needed to be replaced and apart from the 2 cab seats,
there was no interior so we are planning on making a copy of a
period devon interior. Lots of missing bits to collect too.
Some pics of the bus in California and of Jamie collecting it from London. It
had a home-made roll cage and ally panelling inside.
