    Gear bush replacement without removing the Gearbox and Engine

    I do have a bit of play under the shifter so I guess if I change that out first, I can see how bad it is. I can also assess the play with the front one removed. Thanks

    Rear Hatch Door Modification old to new bay

    I have the opportunity to purchase a rust free older Rear Hatch Door. Mine is a Crossover and it's a different door. As far as I can see it's only the hinge holes that are different. Has anyone any experience on moving the holes to the door sits in the correct place for an old to a newish door.

    6 Weeks in 1972 Crossover

    I have most of the interior and will be going back to Dormobile stock except for the old sink and cooler box. Other than that I will be sorting the interior out over the winter. Maybe colour changes to the seats and panels.
