Walesy 0 Posted March 23, 2006 I've seen them for over 30 grand at different shows , if they're in top condition, with a decent engine then they command alot of money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pip 0 Posted March 31, 2006 Sweet bus PIP! Think Iv seen that around! We gonna be seeing u on the next Cornwall meet? yep looking good :wink: trying to start tricking the raddo up a bit,but moneys tight,so might still be stock by meet but will be there and dead looking forward to meeting everyone :wink: Where did you have it painted pip? ..I could do with a decent bodyshop around here! Also, if you don't mind me asking , who does your mechanical work for you? the lads who done the paint are local ie in between porth and watergate :wink: and they are the dogs gooners,all the modded cars you see round kernow they do,but also they love dubs so will look after it and they can do any custom paint and effect you want and i mean that,they aint got a pretty workshop and drive round in porsches there just 2 brothers that love doing what they do :wink: If you have a budget of £300 upto £2k whatever youve got they will try to paint your motor for it where as most have a basic set rate they go on your budget,so there busy and have always got work :wink: was there last night saying hi @ 11pm as they were doing a modded pug in marbling with the owner there helping,thats what i like aswell,they wont do nowt till its confirmed with you and if you want to be there and watch you can and youll be welcomed :wink: as i say they aint posh,but there good,quality @ a price you can afford! If anyone wants to chat to them there number is: 07814 029304 ask for Lee or Antony as lee buggers off around the world in 2 weeks time so things left to 'ant' :wink: tell them pip with the split put you onto them :wink: Mechanics on my bus i do myself,cant weld never learnt even though i have a welder :oops: so if i need it i go to my mate shaggy @ newquay Dubstop: 07811 002952 local ie only pentire,more aircooled but wont attempt a job if his never done it so honest guy! if he cant do then i get my mate 'Lee' @ Mountwise garage nr football ground: 01637 871293, proper garage if you know what i mean,but welding he is bloody great,one of my old busses my 72 bay he completely built the front chassis and mounting threads for the beam to attach to as you cannot buy new,in the whole of the u.k i was quoted £1000 upwards and thats to me that knows quite a few places :wink: as its a job thats so difficult cos the metal has to be made and then precise welding for straightness and strenth because front axle has to attach to it! his good,takes his time and is another one where he wont touch unless told to! Not posh but affordable,knows how to do everything,but does get busy! Mostly try and do things myself,but sometimes you need help or proper people and local so this fellas have done me proud :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
