That is looking so nice Anna, so much work and effort gone into it.
Be great to see it in the flesh too, will it be ready for the next AGM?

Ooooooohhhhhh that is looking spot on !!
A credit to you both.
Has it got a narrowed front beam ? Looks like a fair bit of camber on the front, you usually see that on the rear.

Cheers,
Ade

Yeah, Elv has done narrowed and turned beam and dropped spindles too, but now it's too low!
To get it on the trailer to bring it home he had to make some temp shocks out of steel bar to lift it up, hence the dodgy camber! He's going to turn the beam again and raise it up a bit.
Got IRS conversion and a fab steering rack with F1 technology from Creative Engineering to fit too.

Cheers, thanks. If you save a few pennies up and don't mind a left had drive it's a company my dad used to work for bringing them into the country from California. Based in Ashbourne, Derbyshire.
Didn't know until we phoned up to enquire, then realised who it was!

Wow, this is looking great!  :D Did you buy the polished front safari's from CE? My brothers 30th is coming up and family and friends are considering all chipping in to buy him a set for his bus, they cost a pretty penny though don't they!

If you know where to get them cheaper please let me know!

Cheers, yeah the safari's are from CE, both front and back and the delux trim.
We have spent a fortune on all the goodies, but bought them all at the start of the project when we had some money from selling our vw bay. They were prob a bit cheaper 4 years ago :D We new if we didn't buy it then, it would just get spent on the house!
They are definately good quality and I would recommend the CE stuff. It fits our van really well. I'm sure your brother would be made up with a prezzie like that.Ax
