Thanks everyone. Yes it's air suspension all the way around. I will take some more photos when I get a chance.

I need a tissue. That looks awesome. Hows it handle running on bags?

I sorted my garage into 4 piles of stuff.
1. Stuff I`m keeping
2. Stuff I`m not getting rid of.
3. Stuff I might use..one day.
4. Stuff that might come in handy.

Absolutely stunning ! And I'm so happy you kept the original paintwork/colours/signwriting, and the respray looks fantastic ! I bet there has been quite a bit of subtle restoration going on there which cannot be seen unless you compare with the old photos.

Superb !

Oh yah lots of work done to it. Almost has no bondo. New rocker panels ( thanks to woolfy) as well as rear corners. Right rear frame patches fabricated by myself. The good sections of the old rocker panel were sandblasted and used for the doors as we as the middle of the rear. Air suspension done by be (not easy at all and very pricey). It rides pretty good, kinda like being on a water bed.

id forgotten I sold you those panels way back then! looks ace.

Air suspension ? Would really like to know how and what you used to achieve it. Have been thinking/dreaming about it for a while. Currently sat on a hill, camping and wishing I could adjust the level really easily, whilst having some decent ride and comfort.

chasbaps found a solution (not fitted)

 

[SamWise]

Yes, I'm interested in what was involved, and also the cost.

 

[davidcourier]

Looks great, how does it ride?

I saw a company at the Motorhome show at the weekend who were selling a system that looked like it had some potential, but then tidied the house on Sunday, and have mislaid their leaflet - I'll have another look for it this evening.
EDIT - found it - http://www.airide.co.uk/

not the best website in the world though, half the links don't seem to work

This company sell the parts, http://www.marcleleisure.co.uk/store/air-suspensions-c-58.html. I haven't the know how to fit them but I'm working on it. I have more pressing commer jobs, but would love to have some reassurance negotiating roundabouts and leveling on campsites. It would also be nice not to hear everything rattling about in the cupboards.
