Fit the stainless braided brake pipes, and renew all copper lines

Slowly collecting more stuff in the garage, but when the weathers cold, can't be arsed, and when the weathers hot, we are out in it all the time, it's my daily, (use work van during day) so loathed to do too much taking apart on engine and steering etc as i need to use it - and i have been a very lazy boy with the camper lately.

More to add to the list.....

Fit the new correct tinware
Fix intermittent wipers instead of bunging another fuse in
Adjust steering play as garage did too much, and i dont like the slight tight spot in the center
Paint/powder-coat the wheels, new hubcaps - whitewalls?
Paint drums and backing plates
Maybe redo the interior again, maybe new curtains, seat coverings over the westy vinyl
Fit stock exhaust i painted.
Adjust torsion bar settings to fix the westy droop
Really need to fit new doors seals at least
Fix the new canvas i have for the top bunk
See if i can get 2 old 6V T3 clocks I have into the dash, and get them working somehow

At least the bodywork is getting done soon, respray on both rear corners, and engine lid, new rear bumper and overriders, new overrider rubbers, new battery tray, respray to lower sills and tidy up.

Enough to keep me busy for a long long while........I think this is just the tip of the iceburg, I loose track of all the stuff in the garage waiting for a home, you know what it;s like, you see something that would be "handy" and in the garage it goes......... :roll: Maybe once i get this done, I could start to re-commission the motorbike which has laid dormant for 5 years.......

Cheers!
