Nev - 1971 Bay with some germanlook influences

Well i know this build won't be a lot of peoples' bag as it isn't strictly germanlook....but i thought some of you may be interested just in the build.

Well i'll start at the beginning.
We purchased this bus around 6 years ago and it was uber cheap. He wasn't pretty - so i did the essential stuff - you know - like lower it and put a better engine in haha. The initial plan was to sell it - but as we all do - we got attached to the van. After a few years of holidays in him (Nev) I finally finished my beetle resto and we layed Nev up and started to save for his resto. He made a final appearance at our wedding (took the bridesmaids) after i limped him through an MOT after being off the road for a couple of years and as soon as we got back from our honeymoon we started ripping him apart. I'll let the pictures do the talking from here....

When we first got him


On Holiday once he'd been given some love - this was in tenby. He was like this for a few years - we attended lots of shows - went to Spa and had lots of trips to France, Wales and Devon in him. He didn't let us down!



Dressed for the wedding




Pulling him apart before he goes to the blasters




He was away at the blasters for a while so in the mean time i started on the brake and suspension conversion

Bearing spacers made for the 944 hubs to linkpin spindle


Bearing spacers fitted and outside of the hub turned down to fit the 996T discs


Porsche 6 pot calipers




Compared to the stock disc and caliper
