looks good ,, in the ole days we used to cut a coil or two off but they dont
advise that anymore ( not seating proberly) or clamping two coils together like a special exhaust type clamp
or you could always buy some springs

Hi mate. yeah, thanks for that information, what do you mean by bolting two springs together? how would they fit? Is it possible to lower the body, like you can with vw van types? Cheers.

not 2 spring ,but justs brings 2 coils of the spring closed together .

OMG! That is fantastic mate. Ha my mate as a VW type 5 just spent a bomb on springs. lol. Do you think I will be able to fit more than one on each spring? say bring two or three coils closer? maybe every other one or something? it would be only like having stiffened suspension, wouldn’t it? I’m thinking of having the front lower than the back, kind of an old skool hot rod look, I am 42 years old! Maybe get some leaf spring risers if it has rear leaf springs? or what ever you suggest.

I’m after some lake pipe style side pipes as well, but again a bit puzzled on where I would get them from, or how I would fit them, to actually both work and make the engine sound beefy, all on a budget! Paints my game mate, I might have the ideas on the other stuff, but am clueless to the workings of it, that in mind if I did want to tweek the performance, I’m presuming with the exhausts a performance air filter would sort this would it? bearing in mind the bus has done a steady 215,000 miles!
Cheers for all of your help - in advance
