Team Fortana Red

[Insert Coin]

My bus is progressing nicely, had a hiccup with the sales rep along the way so got him kicked off the job and now deal with the production manager who is fantastic.

Once the roof is finished the next big item to get started is the air ride, then it's mostly all downhill from there and should be ready in 3 weeks.

A bit more progress, quite excited about the roof, but also a little apprehensive as they can be a nightmare and I know nothing about Stealth roofs.

On the home straight now, air ride all done, everything from the drivers seat back is finished, just a few electrics to finish off and then a load of paint for the various bits of trim, grill, splitter, side bars, rear spoiler etc

 

[Insert Coin]

Almost there, just a few bits left to fit, front splitter, lazer lamps, VW badge hook-up, Fiamma awning, go faster stripes and the final few electricals.

We used my van as a trial for a raptor finish on the plastics, hard to tell if it was worth doing until I see it in person.

Hopefully collect next week because the shit box I'm currently driving is slowly killing me.

Looking smart!

Really like the look of the raptor finish on the plastics, would love to see more pics when you get it! makes it a lovely deep black rather than the dulled plastics.

I have a whole spare set of front end plastics and mirrors in my garage waiting for painting was going thinking the usual gloss black but now I've seen this....

Van Haven spotted a slight warp in the roof, you can vaguely see it at the top of the windscreen, near the middle so it’ll be a few more days yet while they get that swapped over.

I’ll get some better snaps of the raptor paint for you, if I ever get to collect it

Not quite going to make the weekend, but should be ready by Tuesday.



Also got a plate for it, FA57 VWT from the old bus doesn’t really suit a swamper so got this -

Loving the signature stripes @Insert Coin

Love the colour, wasn't sure it would suit the semi-swamper look, but god damn that's gorgeous.

Makes it go faster mate, also makes it easy for people to avoid me.
