I sometimes modify model cars so that's what I'm thinking of doing, I already have a splitty with a canvas sunroof that operates and it has various old school bmx stickers on it, lowered etc.

Dave Beard has a set of original Raleigh Team bus decals I believe - would be fooking ace to see a replica bus done

Are n't these pics taken from the Christ Young thread ?

I bet Darren Wood will tell you who both vans belonged to

dordymush · « **Reply #9 on:** February 16, 2012, 08:46 PM »

now an tranny van with daves stickers on would be the ultimate bike hauler

.
its a mk3 transit by the way lol. same as the mk2 but with the face lifted plastic grill and back lights.

i would be interested in knowing the colour of the skyway split camper as i would be up for building a replica .
the skyway pic is from the chris young thread alright .
Darren if you could find out the colour or even find a colour picture of it that would be great .
i found the picture of the transit on an old irish bmx site .
as far as i know the picture was taken in the phonix park in dublin (not 100% sure )
the robinson team bus is very cool more mobile motel than camper

Cool get some pics up

I'm also getting quite good at making bodykits with filler, I've done one on an escort mk3, but that needs painting and building up. I've also got a detailed viper gts, a skyline gtr, a modified '89 500sl wip, and various others along with an overflowing box of spares with anything you could think of. I'm gonna start modifying cars and selling them and making to order, starting with the skyway bus rep, anyway, heres the pics, meant to look a bit ratty, yes it does have sliding canvas roof, just need some cali number plates and some rust on it and it's finished!:

And a last one with my flick trix sunday funday, need to get some old school ones

Slightly better pic of the SE bus, simply the Raddest BMX bus of all time. Wonder what was going through the OM's mind when he decided to add the turret
