Then had a slight fuel problem. The filter was blocked up and the new fuel lines went all shitty so i replaced them with really thick nice stuff. I have now fitted this posh metal can filter.

I then found water had been leaking in making a right mess. I took the floor out and welded up all the small holes that i has sealed up and repainted the floor. Should of done it right first time but owell you live and learn.

Ive removed the old louvered windows and sold them making way for a new set of side windows and rubbers. While taking the windows out i decovered a massive hole in the top of the door so patched it up and got on with the job.

Once again i have forgotten to up date this.

Last week we got the bus in the spray booth and preped the body for some lacquer. Its being coated with Awlgrip 2000 lacquer (Yacht stuff).

We ran over the paint with dome 200 grit and awlgrip panel wipe.
