Not ever. I have allready saved it from that dreadful life. I have changed gearbox from a straight axle bug gear to a reduction gear from a 1967 bus. And the flipped front spindels are gone now and stock height spindels with CSP vented disc brakes are mounted....so, now more of that low life here.
I do not need to be one of the crowd, I go my own way.  |

Yes...front tires got to be in the wrong profile. I ordered the wrong size....got 65s, when its 80s in the back. I will change them into Continentals in the right dimensions when I get it back home again.
No...no tools in the back. But I am working on it, I have found an old style of wooden interior with a lot of room for tools, for example.
But all my NOS Hazet tools went with the bus to Germany, so I'll just have to find some more of them.  |

Yep, non logo dark blue hub caps. Just being there, not sticking out.
I told them that they had forgotten the tire pressure markings, and ofcause...those will be added too. |
