Just a few old pics when it was a muddy day with the Syncro
Was stuck for 2 days
5 vehicles came to assist
All 5 had same muddy end
Even a TLB could not get me out


Eventually dug a trench to drain water away from the bus and then able to drive the bus on solid ground

So one of the next Projects is a VW Transporter 4MOTION
I managed to get my Hands on a Semi panel van called a Crew bus
It had no rear seats but filled with tool boxes
Removed the Kitt in the back

Idea is a nice soft overlander Kombi
So I sourced a set of rear seats with all factory brackets
Removed fuel tank to fit all brackets
And factory rear side seatbelts

Found a set of rear back side windows
Abd deluxe front grill
And both lower spot lights wired in to a factory light switch
Then it was time for a full repaint and the Bus called Bubbles came out looking really good

Next step was to find Alloy OE 17" Rims to fit decent off road tyres to help with ground clearance

Cleaned and repainted the rims and fitted it to the bus


Then a one touch screen Raduo with Reverse camera
And all windows received the Proper Smash and Grab treatment

Bought 16mm² wires to fit a power source in the rear of the bus
For fridge And DC to DC charger
Same time cut door panels that will receive usb and c type charging ports

The floor mat from the Scrapyard we could not get cleaned even with custom seam treatment

So upholster started measuring the full size rubber mat
To get floor done

Bought 7 sheets of sound dettening to quite down the interrior

Bugger, when we insulate a vehicle acoustically, we refer to killing the sound.
Hence the phrase 'Sound Deadening'. It makes sound dead.

Capish?

So more progress

17' Ally factory rims found - and not o ly 4 but 2 sets of the same for 2 to be spare possibly on the back

Rubber floor mat done and all seat brackets installed
And door panels and seats fitted

Erin sold his bus but had a set of seat covers he never fitted that he passed over to me
Fitted them and bus interrior is sweet

Bought a National Luna 45L Traveler fridge for the back of the bus
It is a new range from them and has wheels and pull out handel to drag it around easier

Done Hdcp charger in the back that Woolf sponsored but need to change that as it is not Lifepo4 compatible
For the Blue Nove with Blue tooth compatability to monitor battery life

Been driving the bus around
And what a difference with the interior in how quite it is

The noise have been kulled-Deadening working
