Ricky on his way home
Ricky the 1975 Kombi has been in the Righteous Kombis shop for a long time now, undergoing a full restoration.
We, as well as Ricky's owner are super excited to have him on the road and in perfect timing for Summer which is literary just around the corner!
This Kombi turned up on the tow truck as a bare shell, so a lot of work had to done! It wasn't going to be an overnight project either!
Ricky started in the paint and panel before making his way into the mechanical side, over the past few months.
Ricky was originally the colour blue, instead of changing the colour completely! It received a revamp in classic and iconic colour Flipper Blue.
Ricky then, moved from paint and panel shop into the machinal shop to undergo a full engine and gearbox rebuild, everything was replaced and we mean everything this included; A brand new rebuilt engine a new rebuilt gearbox, all new steering and suspension.

The Home Stretch!!!!
In the last few weeks, Ricky has had a complete new interior installed and fitted and is now getting the last few little touches such as his badge, mirrors, new tyres and Rims and the all important rock n roll bed assembled!
It has been an absolute ball having Ricky in the shop and of course we will miss him, but we cannot wait to see him Cruising around! A massive congratulations to the owner, you have one beautiful Kombi!
Stay tuned for the end result of Ricky's full Makeover!
