    Headlining

    Loads of mags....

    I remember when I was starting out, a few kind souls sent me copies of camper mags to get me started. They didn't charge - so kind! Well, now it is time to return the favour. I have too many to store and am having a clear out. There is a big pile that anyone can collect for free from Frome...

    Belly pans came off today.....!!!!

    Been told for a while that the belly pans needed to come off. Last MOT was told that it wouldn't pass another without them being off as rot was creeping through. Had taken it to a motor project for young disaffected kids as a project vehicle but they are now saying it is beyond their skill...

    What's going on with my arches??

    Some pics of my arches. It's a 1970 bus so I reckon they are wrong. I haven't been that bothered up to now as the bus was pretty cheap and it has so many things that are not original so I'm not precious. Now though... I need to repair the arches, where the bumpers bolt on, so I really need to...
