That looks amazing. Not familiar with that style of construction on this side of the pond. What goes in the gap between the inner grey bricks and the outer red bricks?

Top shelf

Hi ya, cheers it's a 50mm cavity, if it was a house etc I would have to put kingspan/celotex type insulation to fill the gap which further insulates the building, but as its a detached garage and not for inhabitting the actual gap is sufficient as the heat loss, sound insulation, it also stops damp from transferring through into the building from the outside due to the gap

Hi j yes I've fitted securon 3 point belts, but they're the multi position ones, so I've fitted the inertia reel part of the belt under the seat 'cos of the full width bed if you fit the reel at high level where you normally fit it, it fouls the bed when you want to drop it down as it sticks out

It also looks neater when not in use :mrgreen:

Been a while since I last updated my thread, been busy finishing off my garage and I have just about emptied my shed and finally been able to get my project engine out and got it on my bench ready for this years project

Picked up this turn key 1641 tp last year even came with a newish Bosch alt conversion

Will hopefully get it stripped down in the next few weeks :mrgreen:

My starting plans are 1776cc so will need the case and heads machined and I will be going from there,

This is going to be a long slowish build as time allows

Had a couple of hours this afternoon and thought I'd start stripping the engine

Heads are good vw ones no cracks that I could see will give them a good clean up :mrgreen:

The new bench is well and truly broke in now :mrgreen:

Hopefully will split the case next weekend :mrgreen:

If I can find my flywheel lock clamp...

Making good progress there Shaun. Should be the last thing to do and your bus is truly sorted. Love it.
