It's always nice to be greeted by lots of Splitty buses

Violet looks shiny in the background !!

Our westy

If we get the right offer we will let it go looking for £10k as is, we're prepared to paint him any colour/colours within reason. The interior is basic. However we do our own bespoke interiors to a very high quality





He's a late bay but early enough to be tax exempt


The engine is a rebuilt 1641, with lots of extras however we will remove the twin carbs as they are a pain in the arse when cold if your not used to them(no chokes)



The bus had new everything, brakes all round including calipers cylinders well everything! red9design lowered suspension new ssp BRM wheels and new tyres, all welding was done including bottom third and new front.



Billet handbrake and scat shifter helps with a real nice gearshift
The roof canvas is also new, justkampers

Betsie

7" body drop now has given Betsie a new low stance, ravern hydraulics will push her up high enough to get out of the lane tho!






We pumped her up a little to get her outside


We've now got to make the rams fit the red9design double wish bone, happy days

July 2012

Just to catch up. The bus with no name is still a little way away, repaired the loom, fitted engine etc. got pop top and heating to sort out, as we are running the propex into the heater ducting under the floor we are making replacement y piece to house it as the old one was rotten.

Camper jam was rainy and muddy to say the least but thanks to everyone that turned up and helped.

Benjamin, Molly and Sarah were super stars making display boards.






Driving curly's Splitty there.



Lots of wicked vans up to their axles in mud.



Then dragged out.



Once we were out we found dry ish ground for photo op.

When we came home Benjamin and Molly got a beetle off eBay.


So off to Pickering north Yorkshire to fetch it.



Then on a very tight budget, lowered it put discs on the front and spent the weekend welding it. Polishing it. Stickering it.



We have carpet lined a t4, fitted a rock and roll bed a pre-owned Stereo and drop down tv. Temp seat covers as the leather seats failed to materialise from an unreliable trimmer after a delay of three months.























Sadly we no longer have Darren working for us as he has taken up a career in male underwear modelling, for go outdoors;)


We miss you man:(

finally we washed the latest arrival and the Resto doesn't look half as bad now the moss has gone.
