Like i said only when the curtains are shut and the beer is flowing

Got a few little bits for her at Bristol..

Interior door handles front and back, cargo door stops and another fuel cap..

And a new better set of carb linkages..

You don't want pics really do you cos it's not that exciting

Well oh well looks like i've just ground my last grinder and welded my last weld

Here you go peeps probably the last update....

The last bit of welding that needed doing is done..

Passenger side inner wing looked abit bubbly so had a look and it went to this..



So i cut the top panel off and the inner was gone as well..




So i cut that out as well




And then welded the new piece.




And ground it back flush




Then cut and drilled a fresh top piece and welded it in




Then ground it back smooth




And a couple of coats of black




I had real JOY doing it, even more when i saw the niegbours were looking so i made as much fooking noise as i could and was laughing at the same time

Now how true were those words..


After give her a very little bit of a HARD time the other day i seem to only be firing on 3 cylinders..
I've used her a few times since and it's just getting worse..
Gonna try and get her to the unit this week and have a proper look at her sometime....

Is this the END of the session for the bus... Will she be getting pulled apart to a bare shell sooner then i wanted

SHHhhhhhhh Don't tell Frizz and don't let her see this

I had a bit of free time today so dragger her to the workshop to sort the running probs out only firing on 3 cylinders number one not firing..

I wired in a starter buttom in the engine bay so i could turn it ove myself to check for a spark pulled both plugs 1+2 out remove the O/S carb stripped it and cleaned it.. Then with it all still stripped i spun the motor to check for a spark on 1+2 and it was good but the motor fired up ran and reved on 2 cylinders...
So bolted it all back together changed the exhaust and it was all good ran fine..

Drove home fine reved better went better.. Pulled in to my road and bang back 3 cylinders..

There you are then, your bus doesn't like your neighbours either!

So whats the lastest the dude? got your motor sorted out yet, and got them doors cut and windows in... you have plenty of time
