new (old) bus for the gurns!

Postby the gurns » Sat May 07, 2011 7:24 pm

Bought a 1995 swb semi high top minibus today to replace the one swept off the mot ramp a few months ago,I have looked at 12 minibuses but they were all rotton underneath (despite what the adverts said!!) The one I bought needs a bit of work on the front and rear arches and rear door bottoms (don't they all?!! :roll: )but underneath its like new,drove it home 190 miles sweet as a nut apart from throttle is VERY hard to press and slight squeel from clutch at tickover when clutch pedal up,goes when slight pressure applied to pedal (release bearing or something simple?)
Its got torneou alloys and loads of seats all with belts which will be sold to pay for the resto!
Will post some pics in the morning,Oh it also has a 1/2 roof rack and ladder which will also be sold! :lol:
Spent an hour taking loads of crappy stickers off before driving it home,seems the previous owner was into gimmicky stuff!! :lol:
Went from South Wales on the train at 6am,3 changes plus the london tube (Nightmare!!) got there a little more stressed than the rail adverts will have you believe!!! :evil:
