6 Weeks in 1972 Crossover

[J4yman]

Hi folks, 6 weeks in with Lizzy my 1972 crossover and still finding my way round. Electrics, adjustments and lack of sleep thinking about the next job and how I will tackle it. So great to be here and really chuffed to be back in the scene after 25 years. In need of mainly advice as I am pretty hands on. These crossovers are a nice vans.

Hello, and welcome to the forum.
You'll be asked for pics pretty soon, so why not start a thread in the Gallery section of the forum.

Thanks, she is very tidy underneath. Some electrical work which I have done and also a bit of Bodywork to be done. But I won't be putting her away for the winter she is made to drive and that is what I will do. Rolling resto

I remembered you saying about it. Only recently got round to joining, busy doing little jobs and making the most of the daylight before the clocks change. I have been sorting the wiring out with the diagrams from thesamba dot com. Excellent resource too. Thanks again.

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.

That's great. Lots of exciting little jobs over the winter. Have fun and good luck!
