That's a very fine interior you have there!

Not a great deal to update on. Took the silly filthy seals off the louvred windows so they look much cleaner now. Front shock bolt was loose, just been nothing but driving it around a lot lol

Interior will be for sale at some point

More small updates. Took the rear bumper off to get rid of all this waxy black stuff from the rear end.

still plodding along removing old glue from the doors where the old seal was. That’s taking forever lol

finished scrapping the louvred windows from the old seals, and some sticky residue that they was covered in.

A few updates



it’s now running correctly I think with help from me pal took it in a sunset drive.



sorted all the wiring out under the buddy seat, installed a leisure battery, and a switch panel



tightened all the covers up on the seats



cleaned all the grime off at the back end



Installed the under trays



the gear yoke tongue fork thing broke on way to Santa pod. So went back home and fixed it. Eventually arrived at Santa pod for bug jam, best show I’ve done so far



painted the cab floor, layer some underlay down

Wow it’s been a while updating this. Sadly I got diagnosed with cancer last year so not been around much

Where do I start.

I layed down coffee floor mats. Trimmed the door cards, new window scrapers,window winder handles, installed a narrow beam, dropped spindles, new calipers, discs, pads and hoses, adjustable rear spring plates. Serviced front wheel bearings, new clutch cable, new steering coupling

ditched both the wardrobes, cooker and sink. Fitted a fridge and a temp unit to house the fridge, 8 ball gear knob, under dash shelf, split charge relay, new coil, retractable seat belts, opening quarter lights, front over riders,

I won a trophy at skegvegas too

Looking good for sure. Not sure I saw you up at Skeg, there was quite a few of us but parked right up in the furthest corner tucked out of the way and keeping out of trouble, or doing our very level best . Reckon we’ll hit it again this year most of us.

Ozziedog,,,,,.,,,,keep us up to date and don’t shoot off for so long

Hi. I got diagnosed with cancer last year, so been a bit all over the place and forgot to keep this updated.

It was a great show skegvegas, hoping to do a load more this year if I’m up to it x

 

[ozziedog]

All over the place has got to be the understatement of 2025. Twas my very first time at Skeg Vegas and thoroughly enjoyed it. There was a fab load of motors there of all sorts of descriptions,,,, We’ll be posting up as and when we’re going anywhere so feel free to join in too. Nothing better than hooking up with other nutcases and sorting a few swifties round a bit of a fire.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,Come On Summer !!!

I love those side bars, which I bought them as well now! lol

Your bus is really cool. Love your bumper!

Haaaaa, keep up bud, those bumpers are long gone lol. I popped the pic up because of the jail bars. I change my bus around like some peeps change their boxers. Mine are satin black now but have taken a bit of a pasting with scratches and such like so they could do with some attention but I’m giving it ‘what for’ on the interior at the moment. Thinking I’m getting carried away too and it’s starting to look like a gypsy caravan in there.
Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,Until the next change

 

[ozziedog]

Looks a bit like this now.

But,,,, with wheels like that ^^^ and that looks set to change soon.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,can’t leave it alone
