    Lanoguard ?

    Use it on my daily driver and my Bus and have had good results so far Super easy to apply. Don't think it gives super long lasting protection but every little helps!

    1970 Rolling Resto

    First thing was the engine bay extinguisher going off, apparently its pretty loud but also has a warning light you can put on the dash to show its activated And yes Mike is correct, its a T25 hatch but my friend put it in for access, works well

    1970 Rolling Resto

    Well the 700 mile trip to cornwall and back was flawless. Bus ran like a dream albeit 55mph at 3,500rpm can get a little boring. All parked up at the Cider festival with my friends split My friend didn't quite have the same uneventful journey back due to a suspected fuel line split...

    1970 Rolling Resto

    Small update as we head into summer Bus developed a small misfire towards the end of last year but tucked it away in my workshop and forgot about it until I had to drag it out for my wedding at the start of March. After a small check through of everything found that the top of the dizzy cap had...

    1970 Rolling Resto

    Dashboard is all back together now, installed a Smiths rev gauge which was simple to fit and a nice addition I have ran led strips under the dash that work off the door switches , they are a bit blingy so may require a channel to sit in to divert the light Porsche seats are mocked up And...

    1970 Rolling Resto

    A bit more progress in the cab in the last few weeks, just tidying bits , routing everything nicely and finally putting a stereo in Went for a blaupunkt unit, quite a subtle looking headunit i think by modern standards As for speakers i didn’t want them in the doors but didn’t want them screwed...

    1970 Rolling Resto

    Which leads me onto this year! So it had always had a few electrical niggles I wanted to sort so at the start of the year I took the dash out to see what was going on. There were a few wires chopped about and the rest of it was all rather tired so I started looking into new looms. After a...
