Hello Fellow splittie owners,I posted some pics ages ago of an old 55 ratamatack I think Frenzix called it I see we've done some cleaning out of the old postings I cant find it.
Anyhow I have some pics of my ol 55 still a work in progress but now registerd in the UK, I have just fitted my 1835 engine mild by comparison to todays lumps but it dont hang about!! More will follow once I get my hands on a better camera.. TTFN[/img]

Well the ol girl has now well and truly lost her show virginity!! After a near fatal engine fire on the way to Bug Jam in July in a petrol station of all places!!!!! I had a stuck float in one of the idf's gave it a bash with the fire extinguisher!! and continued!
After doing a few more local shows and clocking up a thousand miles it was time for Vanfest which is the bigest show in the UK for the bus owners ( as if you didn't know!!) So here's a couple of snaps of mi 55. I will be posting some snaps from the show and shine later on when I can find time to compress the pic's Enjoy!!

Hi All
Just thought I'd share these pics with you, I was asked to use my bus for a wedding car last month for one of my good friends who is a previous dub owner, a great time was had by all. Hope you enjoy the pictures...

Hi guys. I haven't posted for a while but I though I'd post a link to a small video I made of the turbo engine I built from junkyard parts ( apart from the turbo itself pushed the boat out on that and the waste-gate to match my front pulley ha ha!

By the way it did haul ass till I blew it up thats what you get for having your deck height to small and detonated a big hole in the piston Doh!
This has given me the perfect excuse to go to the next stage and fuel inject it managed to get some CB throttle bodies keep you posted.
