    '71 Moonraker "The Rustmaker"

    With the YouTube idea firmly put to bed for now (too much edit work for my actual job, plus filming inside the tent garage is hell!) I thought I’d just pop an update here anyway as I have plenty to catch up on. For this journey, we’re diving into the wonderful world of rear window panels and...

    68 Dashboard Warning Light Meanings

    Hello, I am in the process of changing my dashboard plastics and the donor appears to be from a 68. This is more out of interest than anything else as I’ll be putting my clocks back in so these are going spare but I did notice that the warning lights are different to mine. I was wondering if...

    1967 Neptune Blue Deluxe

    I’m considering getting one when the time comes. There are just completely random wires all over my van!

    '71 Moonraker "The Rustmaker"

    Ah same here. I have a tent garage so I can do prep work in there ok but can’t really weld in there which isn’t ideal! I do have an episode almost ready to go but unfortunately haven’t really filmed much since. With the weather being a bit up and down (and the early darkness) I just haven’t...

    '71 Moonraker "The Rustmaker"

    Thank you! I spent years lurking on here watching others restore their vans. It just took me years to actually get a welder and do it. It wasn’t as scary as I thought haha!

    '71 Moonraker "The Rustmaker"

    Ok rusty bus fans, here is another saucy update for you... patches, patches, patches! The side of my van suffered the inevitable rust under the seals, with some sections totally rotted through. Thankfully I found a good repair section at Busfest a couple of years ago which was sat around for a...

    Front door alignment

    Hi all! I have searched the forum before and saw a few bits and bobs about this subject but thought I’d ask anyway incase there is fresh insight. So the problem I have is that the drivers door is around 4mm too far back, foiling both the B pillar and the front of the arch as it curves around...

    '71 Moonraker "The Rustmaker"

    . I’ve been tempted to just bring a couple of van parts that need prepping to the hotels but always decide it’s a bad idea 😂 I’m slowly getting there efficiency wise, currently working on the front chassis leg, I did rush initially and made some bad decisions so decided to go back to the...

    '71 Moonraker "The Rustmaker"

    So here we are, a long awaited, much anticipated update on my beloved bus… If you’ve read my previous posts you’ll know I’m very far behind on updates, I still am but thought I’d finally get round to posting another as I’m very bored in a premier inn (away with work) This is the first update...

    I‘m after a good condition (no cracks) plastic dash surround for a RHD bus. Ideally one without the additional holes that appear in some. Has anyone got one knocking around?

    Devon tailgate badge

    Hello! Just wondering if anyone has a reference image of the OG rear badge from a devon? I removed mine to repair the tailgate skin and thought I’d give it a little pazzaz but besides the stickers you can buy I can’t find any reference images as to the original colours. Just out of interest...
