Finally took it for it's roadworthy today and it sailed straight through, so then onto the QLD transport place for a quick check over and all passed....it's on the road !

So, again, many many thanks to my Cornish expat mate who has spent countless hours under the bus, always with a smile and always willing to share his extensive knowledge.
I really only supplied coffee and a helping hand, the rest is pretty much down to Flipflop.
I've been waiting for today for a little while and resisited the temptation of taking it out before it was legal, so it was such a great feeling today to out the kids in the back and sit with the Mrs and cruize around the beaches here.
Already had people taking photo's when we parked up and some nice comments and lots of waving !
Thanks again to all who have encouraged / helped and generally pointed in the right direction.

It's proper bootiful and we love it

Leroy, I guess we can sort a cruize out now ?
Best

Ian

Congrats, the colours look great - what actual colour is the top colour?

Ian 68 · Post by **Ian 68** » Wed Sep 16, 2009 7:31 pm

The colours are stone blue which is a VW colour ( i have the code etc if you want it ) and the top colour is Seal grey, no idea if it's a VW colour sorry.

And before Flipflop makes and comments about it being powder puff blue...........

Be interesting to see how close the seal grey is to pearl white - looks great regardless

Awesome rig dude~!]! Make sure you get that thing out and about as much as you can!

I've seen a couple of nice splits in the last couple of weeks on the Sunny Coast, great spot for a drive

I think i'll have the Pea up there this weekend actually

Hey Brizzle

Thanks for the kind words, but to be honest, my bit was easy. You had to take the leap and agree to doing all that work rather than buying a ready made one, it's the difference between a home cooked pasty and a microwave meal.
I wasn't even going to mention powder puff blue, it's a great looking bus and great colours, just I'm stuck in the 70's with the poo brown lowlight.
