check my resto thread ,i bought a cheap giant party gazebo off flea bay ,its looking a bit sad now but its been up a fair while and it keeps the weather off you. i just needed to crack on

 

[Caboose]

I checked out your resto thread dub boy top work going on there, I think I'll look into getting something like that, makes a huge difference keeping the weather off.

 

[Caboose]

i'm beginning to wonder if i'll ever get this van on the road :roll:

Managed to scald them at work involved seriously hot water in underfloor heating system, and yes they are F@uking sore :shock: :shock:

 

[Myvanway]

Yep.........that looks sore.
Makes my eyes water just looking at the pics!
Fingers crossed they heel quick...... Ouch!! 'Doh!'

 

[Olskoolchris]

OUCH!!! those look sore..

 

[Caboose]

Yeah there sore alright, I hope they heal quickly too myvanway doh! Try typing with me thumb :lol:

 

[Resto-raider]

If all else fails type with your nose
Hope those fingers will heal soon. Must be a pain not being able to use your fingers.
Get well soon so you can finisg that van.

 

[Caboose]

Thanks resto-raider hopefully back on it in a couple of weeks

They sure do look painful ! I'd like someone to have a look at one of the pics near the beginning of the thread. The pic shows the accelerator linkage and a hitch hiker in the chassis....or is it just my imagination? A lot of our van looked like that after being stored in a garden for a few years. It'll be worth all the work in the end.

WTF!!!!!, you could be right I'm going to take a look when it stops raining as if it's ever going to stop Bat or Rat? Bring a whole new meaning of the Rat look :lol:

 

[gninnam]

Does look like there is something in the chassis rail - well spotted.

And as for your fingers, makes me sound like a puff with my minor skin loss

 

[Caboose]

I must be losing the plot I took those pic's ages ago, and I've just taken a look for the creature :lol:

 

[nobby81]

OUCH , How many swear words were used when that happened? you could name this bus the bat mobile :lol:

I would of too ! :lol:
