Well I bought Perry (formerly known as Vera but my daughter did not like it!), back in September. He is a 1971 early bay that is a panel van converted at some point. He has many horrible points but some fantastic ones and i am aiming to restore him back to a family car and my daily commute to...

Ozziedog I have 2 Stella crates but they are an invaluable part of my resto tool kit I may consider giving therm away when I eventually put some wheels on my bus!!!

What I have on my van is in red oxide only as primers tend to be porous I intend at some point to prime it just before I take it in for finishing. I was advised by my local body repair shop on that

For mine I drained the oil too when it was out I replaced the release bearing for the clutch and the clutch. Also the rubber boot on the selector. And regressed the cv joints on the drive shafts and renewed the rubber on the mounting. Mine is still out of my van as it is a very sick van with...

I have a 71 early tin top that used to be a panel van. It has the proper low rear lights but has this new test point incorporated in the loom. The only wiring schematics I can get with this have the late bay rear lights and reverse lights which my van does not have! Any one know I'd I can find...

Bump

Rolling my bus on her side then scratching my head and saying "mmm that will cost you!" before cleaning it right up and deciding which bits not to cut out! Then the fully dismantled engine is going for a swim in some lovely cleaning bath for an hour before painting. Then I'll remove the wiring...

BUMP!!!!

Hey, I am about to make a new wiring loom for my 71 early and as I wire up trains for a living was thinking of making a few spare looms up at the same time. Would there be much interest in these? David

I have a type 1 1600 that is missing the thermostat fan shroud flaps. If any one has this part spare please PM me Cheers David
