no, i bought it like it, i could never afford to have one built, lol, i want to get it back to the way it was when it was first imported, someones removed the front bumper, front sun visor, side skirts and big rear wing off the roof!

thought i'd put a few updated pics of the funbus up.


Had the windows tinted and pin stripes and graphics put on









then covered a few bits inside

still on the lookout for the bodykit with the big wing on the roof

this is the bodykit i'm after, this is my van when it first come into the country, i cant understand why someone would buy a van like this and then remove the bodykit.

your vans friggin wonderful , love it

out of interest where did you find discs and pads from , i think mine may be getting low so think ill change them out anyway , going to be hunting numbers soon so any info would be helpful


love that van though , mrs loves it also

thanks for the nice comment.

i got the discs, pads and shoes from my local motorist center, the whole lot came to £151.00, i got a quote from Toyota and it was over £400, sod that, lol

Are the pads and shoes in pink velvet or sheepskin?

i've not done anything to the funbus for a while, so this morning i had a play with the grill, it's painted a silvery grey but has now got a few stone chips, and looking at the stone chips i noticed the grill was chrome under the paint, so one razor blade and about 2 hours later i have a nice new grill.

Hi, great van looks really cool.
I like your wheels, could you tell me what they are as I am looking at buying some.
Thanks

they're 16" Aproma alloys, they came already on the van from Japan.

Cheers, wheels are quite hard to find.
The Japs certainly know how to pimp a van up.

they certainly do i just wish we had car accessory shops over here like they do in Japan, they're amazing

Thought i'd post an up date for the funbus, she's been off the road for the last month as it had some rust that i wanted sorted, so a restoration company in Sway have got it, & once they've sorted the bodywork, they're going to paint it a new Peugeot colour, it's a pretty metallic ice blue.

Anyway, here's some pictures of it so far.

Windows out & stripping started.







Some of the rust that needs sorting.

Rust around rear window, not to bad, mainly surface rust.



Bottom of the drivers door.

Another bodyshop had a go at this two years ago, and last year the paint started bubbling. When the guys that have got it now started rubbing back, they found a huge hole filled with fiberglass, not good.





Hole under the windscreen rubber.



Small hole on passenger door.



Rust & hole under the rear spoiler.



Taking it back to bare metal & fixing the rust & holes.







Drivers door rust cut out & new piece put in.





Passenger door repaired.



Windscreen hole repaired.



Bottom of passenger door rust cut out & new piece put in.



Rust under rear spoiler cut out & replaced with new piece.









Well that's it so far, hopefully get some more pics soon.
