    Pair and a half of cab doors

    I'm sticking a fresh(er) set of doors on the bay and am going to need to get shot of the current ones. Condition-wise, they're about shot, but if anyone wants to try and patch them up..... :roll: There could well be glass/winder mech/other furniture going with them, just need to sort out what...

    What did you fix on your Bus recently?

    1679 barrel and pistons went on at the weekend. Weber 34 ICT's have half gone on tonight. Came inside and had a beer when it got too cold/dark and made a list of jobs to be done :shock:

    Carbs? I'm looking to treat the bus to a pair of weber ICT 34's. Eurocarb want £360 delivered. I've found a set in the states that I can get shipped over for £305, if I get stung on the import tax though, I'll end up paying....£360! :? Who's got them? Where did you get them? Even...

    What did you fix on your Bus recently?

    I've finally got round to putting a proper drivers seat in, rather than the naff boy racer bucket seats (previous owner :roll: ) Fitted a new drivers door last week, just need to find a passenger door now..... :wink:

    Dormobile stuff

    Just a quickie... I'm slowly getting round to sorting the dormer out and I'm not sure what should be done with the inside of the pop top. At the moment it's bare fibreglass that's been brushed over with a bit of emulsion. Should there be a headlining? While I'm here, where can I get a new...

    Doors

    She's fed up of watching the road flash by through the holes in the doors, so I've been ordered to get them changed! (I've been meaning to do it, but 1641 upgrades and twin webers seemed like a better waste of my money! :roll: ) Therefore, I'm after a pair of cab doors and a sliding door for a...

    I did it!!!

    Oh, and I've re-trimmed the interior. mmmmm, yellow! (The bed's a bit arse at the moment, I'm going to bin all the MDF and replace it with something less saggy!) Front seats, trim panels, all the bed cushions, two top bunks, bunk covers and whatever buddy seat(s) we have, all re-trimmed for...

    I did it!!!

    I've still got it sat in the back garden. I'll have to get a couple of snaps of it and get them chucked on here for everyone to laugh at. Here's one for now of it on the van. The chassis behind the shock tower was rusted through and needed patching up. The patch that can be seen to the...

    I did it!!!

    After many many hours of cursing and swearng, I got the van back on the road on Tuesday, complete with her new lowered and narrowed beam and a whole load of chassis welding! She went back on the road at 2pm and was at te MoT centre at 2:15..... and she passed. First time, no snags or "only...

    Headlight question, really urgent one

    My rim (headlamp rim before the sniggering starts) has three holes through it, one is a mounting screw that goes through a tag in the headlamp bowl on the van, the other two are adjusting screws for the headlamp alignment. It now looks like a Mk1 headlamp will fit, but I'll need to get a 1...

    Headlight question, really urgent one

    Cheers. I'll give JK a ring tomorrow morning and ask if it'll fit. If they say it will, then I've got some comeback if it doesn't all go as planned. If they strongly advise against it (why should they?), then I'll try and get hold of a set of Mk1 golf lamps. Stand by for results tomorrow...

    Headlight question, really urgent one

    I'm having a look through fleabay at the moment. All the Mk1 golf units don't look like they'll fit. Does the same 3 screw rim fit over them or do I need to get hold of a 1 screw rim?

    WANTED: Torsion Leaves for T2 Beam

    I've got a few full length leaves that are no use to me any more. If you're still after one, let me know which size and where you are and I'll see what I can do for you.

    Headlight question, really urgent one

    MoT is now (over)due and one of the things on my list is sorting the headlights out. I'm on a real budget here, so the cheapest option is what I'm looking for. My question is, can I fit late bay lamps in an early bay? JK have got late bay (1 screw) units on the cheap at the moment, and I can...
